The International Cricket Council want all their full members to introduce an anti-corruption code into their domestic competitions by April 1 next year.
The order from cricket’s governing body has been made so that all countries have the same guidelines as those used at international level.
“It would be of great benefit to all stakeholders within the game for all ICC members to adopt a domestic anti-corruption code and a template will immediately be sent to all full members,” ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said.
“ICC has zero tolerance towards corruption and we will do everything we can to protect the integrity of our great sport.
“All members have a responsibility to demonstrate leadership and good practice in protecting the integrity of the sport at domestic and international level.”
The ICC also praised the work of the Pakistan Cricket Board and the Pakistan Task Team, who over recent weeks have set up an integrity committee and appointed an integrity officer.
The steps have been taken in the wake of charges being brought under the anti-corruption code against Pakistan trio Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir.
A three-man tribunal is due to hear the case against the three players in Qatar next month.
