ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has not ruled out using the lie detector test in a bid to rid the game of cheats.
Former Australia captain Steve Waugh suggested using the tests as a way of the sport regaining its integrity following problems in 2010 with allegations of spot-fixing.Pakistani skipper Salman Butt and pacemen Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir face an ICC tribunal which begins on Thursday to look into allegations of spot-fixing during last summer's tour of England.
"I did say some while back that we should keep our minds open and employ any sort of means to ensure the integrity of the sport," Lorgat told the Sportsweek programme on BBC Radio Five Live.
But Lorgat warned the use of such methods might not be allowed.
"There are legalities and there are practicalities," he added.
Lorgat would not comment on anything relating to the independent tribunal which will sit in Dubai.
He said: "I would want to leave it to those judges and refrain from making any comment on that subject."
