Sri Lankan player under ICC anti-corruption unit spotlight
London:The International Cricket Council (ICC)’s anti-corruption unit has reportedly been monitoring the activities of a leading Sri Lankan player since the Twenty20 World Cup in England last year. It is believed that the player was
singled out after his Sri Lankan team-mates became increasingly unsettled by his
late-night meetings with a man they believed to be an illegal bookmaker, The Guardian
reports. According to reports, the players has passed on their concerns to captain
Kumar Sangakkara, who followed ICC protocol by contacting the anti-corruption
unit. Sri Lankan police has since investigated the player, although no charges
have been laid.
