ICC official calls Indian cricket a hotbed of corruption

I can tell the government the names of 8 habitual criminals who tried to contact cricketers and officials: Steverchardson.


LAHORE: (Sadaat News. June 22, 2020) ICC officials have termed Indian cricket as a hotbed of corruption, with Steve Richardson, a key member of the anti-corruption unit, saying that most of the 50 cases under investigation are fabricated by India. I can tell the government the names of 8 habitual criminals who are constantly trying to keep in touch with cricketers and officials. It is not easy to discourage gambling without enacting legislation. Ajit Singh, head of BCCI's anti-corruption unit, also covered up the glaring facts and said that gambling is worth Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000 crore. And franchise owners are the target of all bookies.

Speaking in a video session, ICC Anti-Corruption Unit Coordinator of Investigation Steve Richardson said that although no high profile Indian cricketers have recently appeared on the radar, the bookies and players at the grassroots level are constantly active. The live broadcasts of small domestic leagues are being used for nefarious purposes, the players are the last link in the chain, the organized group behind corruption is sitting outside and shaking the ropes.

"Currently, 50 cases are under investigation. Most of them come from India. I can tell the government the names of eight people who are in constant touch with habitual criminals and players," he said. Sports activities are suspended due to the corona virus and athletes with financial difficulties can easily fall into the trap of bookies. It is not easy to discourage corruption without legislating against gambling.
Ajit Singh, head of the PCCI Anti-Corruption Unit, said that due to legal complications, institutions do not get a chance to take full action against corrupt elements. The Karnataka League case is an example. It is estimated that between Rs 30,000 crore and Rs 40,000 crore is spent on sports in India.
