The ONLY way Pakistani cricket will clean up its act is for all countries to refuse playing against them. Just boycott the cheats for a year until they come into line with the rest of the cricket playing world. They are a disgrace to the game.

When I was a kid in school we played the sport of Cricket in summer and Soccer/Rugby in winter. We played these games as a sport with a pure spirit and a sense of fair play.
These match fixers have sullied the spirit of fair play in their greed for money just as politicians betray the electorate for their ill gotten gains.
Karma will eventually prevail.
