Former Australian captain Steve Waugh, who is a leading a drive to weed out corruption from cricket, has revealed that 56 international cricketers were approached by bookies in 2010.

Waugh, who suggested the idea of introducing lie-detector tests to combat the problem, said he was pleased to see players reporting suspicious behaviour to the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit.

Five cases were reported by players to the ICC in 2009. Waugh said any captain found guilty of match-fixing should be banned for life.
