Lou Vincent to address conference in Melbourne with 'powerful message to the next generation'

Former New Zealand cricketer Lou Vincent has swapped the pitch for the stage, addressing a conference in Melbourne about match-fixing.

Just over ten years ago, Vincent was banned for life for his involvement in attempting to manipulate multiple matches around the world, including in England, South Africa, India and Bangladesh.

Ahead of a Victoria Police symposium on Tuesday that will look at a range of integrity-related issues in sport, Vincent told AAP it's not just international cricket that is susceptible to match-fixing, but any sport that is live-streamed.

"It's not so much just cricket, it's all sports - you've got third grade soccer in New Zealand that nobody knows and you've got ten people watching but because it's live-streamed on internet, it can be bet on," Vincent said.
