Newscorp reported on Friday that fringe players are being sought out via social media as bookmakers seek information on squads and playing conditions.

Pietersen said as long as there are betting markets and huge money to be made, there will always be some who break the rules.

"Are we going to stop it? I don't think we're going to," Pietersen told AAP.

"Whenever there's television the reality is it's going to be there. But I think Cricket Australia does as good a job as any nation around the world in trying to combat it.

"(Governing bodies) tell the players all the stories, they talk about how approaches are made - everything that goes on with it.

"So if you are one of those players that gets approached and you make the stupid decision to go down the wrong avenue then you've just got to belt them away from cricket.

"It really irritates me, it annoys me. I practice as hard as I can ... and I've got expectation to perform on my shoulders.”
