BCCI to Conduct Inquiry Into Spot-Fixing
NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India says it will wait for a verdict from its disciplinary committee before taking any action against three players arrested for alleged spot-fixing during the ongoing domestic Twenty20 league.
BCCI President Narainswamy Srinivasan said Sunday that the board had to ‘observe all channels of natural justice’ but added that it would not hesitate to ‘act ruthlessly’ against those found guilty.
Test player Shantakumaran Sreesanth as well as Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan have been provisionally suspended by the BCCI after their arrest by Delhi Police for spot-fixing, which involves performing in a pre-determined way at set times for the benefit of gamblers.
All three players represented a Rajasthan-based team.
