The International Cricket Council (ICC) will carry out a review of existing anti-corruption measures, the governing body announced on Tuesday.
The ICC's chief executives' committee recommended a comprehensive review should be carried out in the wake of Pakistan's spot-fixing scandal, as well as investigating the possibility of accrediting player agents and introducing betting regulations.
Pakistan captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir have been suspended and charged by the ICC after allegedly deliberately bowling no-balls in the fourth Test against England at Lord's in late August.
A fourth, Wahab Riaz, was later questioned by the Metropolitan Police in relation to the allegations, which first broke in English tabloid The News of the World.
ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat announced the review, which he says is necessary to protect the integrity of the world sport.
"We must continue to assess and, where necessary, improve our processes," Lorgat said.
"The recent allegations have reminded everyone of the need to remain vigilant and to ensure public confidence in our sport."
"I am especially keen to engage with governments to consider the regulation of betting and also to consider the accreditation of player representatives or agents."
"This incident is a warning for all of us. We must heed those warnings and heed them quickly."
Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has resigned as wicketkeeping coach at the national cricket academy after being reprimanded for criticising Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt in a televised interview.
Latif labelled Butt 'irresponsible' after he failed to suspend the Pakistani trio at the centre of the allegations, forcing the ICC to intervene.
Latif, who spoke out against former captain Salim Malik and several of his team-mates following a 1994-95 tour of South Africa blighted by match-fixing allegations, said he has resigned with a clear conscience.
"I have taken the decision to resign after being issued a notice by the Board for having given statements on the spot-fixing issue," Latif said in a statement.
"While it is an honour to serve Pakistan cricket in any position I can't remain quiet on a key cricket issue that could determine the future of Pakistan cricket."
