The ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit is probing why the Indian Board kept calm about a report of its player Suresh Raina being seen in the company of a female linked to an connect of an illegal bookmaker.
The Sunday Times, quoting a senior ICC source, said the incident associated with India’s tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year.
CCTV Cameras installed at the Indian team hotel showed that on more than one night Raina was in the company of a female known to be an connect of a man apparently associated with a bookmaker.
A report, including the CCTV footage, was submitted by the Sri Lankan Cricket Board to their Indian counterparts.
According to the newspaper report, it is the reaction of the BCCI secretary N Srinivasan that has led to the ICC investigation. Instead of acting on the report, Srinivasan is alleged to have got the Sri Lankans withdraw it.
The investigation, led by ACSU head Ravi Sawani is believed to be looking into why the Sri Lankans shared the report with the BCCI first when under ICC anti-corruption rules it should have gone straight to the world governing body, the newspaper said.
According to the newspaper, this comes against a background of much talk in India that it was during IPL matches that spot-fixing re-emerged as a major problem.
An ICC spokesperson, mentioned the investigation into the inaction of the Indian Cricket Board, said, “We do not discuss any investigation.” Srinivasan was not available for remark, the report said.
