After BB Misra’s recent revelations on the IPL spot-fixing case, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will probe on this.

The former chief-investigator of IPL spot-fixing case, BB Misra has recently revealed some shocking news that he has found during his investigation. In that revelation, Misra also claimed that a top Indian cricketer was under question for his contact with a known bookie prior to an international cricket match in the 2008/09 season. The investigator further added that the player was part of Indian cricket team that won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. However, he hasn’t revealed the name of that player.

The Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) head Vinod Rai has claimed that the BCCI’s anti-corruption unit will take the further steps after going through with this.

Rai told The Indian Express, “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.”

In that revelation, Misra further informed that the former Rajasthan Royals’ co-owner Raj Kundra had a contact with a known bookie as he had accepted a gift from him. However, initially, Kundra had denied having any contact with the bookie.

To prevent corruption, Rai said, “We don’t want to single out any state or unit. But with the possibility of corruption in mind, we have decided to beef up our overall system. Earlier, the anti-corruption unit worked with one-two persons, but soon we will make our presence felt in every zone. We will appoint experienced people who have worked closely in the zones and with other intelligence agencies, people who know how things work and know how to prevent it.”

Talking about the conflict of interest allegations, Rai advised appointing an ombudsman and ethics officer in all state associations.

Rai said on this, “Neither do we have the wherewithal nor do we have the mandate to look into every such instance. So I would advise every unit to have an ombudsman and ethics officer, who can address these issues.”
