The Indian cricket board will probe fresh revelations made by B B Misra, the former chief investigator of the IPL spot-fixing scandal, to The Indian Express, including that a top cricketer was under suspicion for contacts with a bookie in 2008-09.
Vinod Rai, who heads the BCCI’s Committee of Administrators (CoA), said the board’s anti-corruption unit has been instructed to probe the details.
“We have read the reports, looked into them and will take the necessary steps. As the board doesn’t have any record or evidence about the particular findings, as it was not given to the board and which only the court has access to, we will ask the court to provide them. Also, we have informed the anti-corruption unit chief, and he will take further steps after studying the events,” Rai told reporters on Monday.
In a series of reports last week, Misra told The Indian Express that a senior cricketer, who was part of the 2011 World Cup winning team, was under suspicion for his alleged contact with a known bookie before an international match in the 2008-09 season.
