The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed that an Anti-Corruption Unit investigation has begun in relation to the Ajman All Stars League, a private cricket tournament held in UAE recently.
“There is currently an ICC Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) investigation underway in relation to the Ajman All Stars League held recently in Ajman, UAE,” ICC general manager – Anti-Corruption, Alex Marshall, said. “The ICC Anti-Corruption Unit works to uphold integrity in Cricket and in keeping with that role we are talking to players and officials and will not make any further comment at this time.”
A video footage of a match from the private league has been doing the rounds on social media, where batsmen appear to be throwing their wickets away on purpose. Batsmen charging down the track and letting the ball go, or running almost till the other end of the crease and then trying to return when there was no run to be taken, raised suspicion among fans.
