Indian news round-up Sankhya Krishnan - 6 October 2000
Four Indian players to figure in CBI report The report also includes advice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India on rooting out matchfixing from the game. One of the suggestions is to make it obligatory for players to declare gifts received from abroad. The report has narrowed down specific occasions when team compositions were altered at the eleventh hour at the alleged behest of bookies. The CBI has also turned down Manoj Prabhakar's suggestion that the players he named as having witnessed the alleged bribe offer made to him by Kapil Dev also take a lie detector test along with him. The investigative agency is of the opinion that since virtually none of his ex-colleagues have supported Prabhakar's version of events, the onus is on him to take the test and substantiate his claim.
Sharma, Chopra dropped from Delhi probables The list of 25 probables will be reduced to 16 after a three week training camp which got underway on Thursday at the Ferozeshah Kotla in New Delhi. Delhi opens its Ranji Trophy engagements this season with a home tie against Services from October 30. Vijay Dahiya, India's current ODI keeper has been named captain. The list of probables include two youngsters, wicketkeeper Pradeep Chawla and opening batsman Chetan Sharma, who were part of the second batch of trainees at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. Departing from normal practice the DDCA has not released the full list of probables to the media.
Batohi denies receiving Cronje transcripts Batohi had refused to give details of her confabulations with Indian officials stating that the sensitive nature of the information precluded her from talking to the press. "She says that she has nothing new to say to the media except for what she has already said at the earlier media conference," said Bacon. "We need these documents or tapes to ensure that they are legally admissible as evidence and have therefore deferred the proceedings of the commission pending their arrival from India," Bacon added. He believed that greater involvement was required both from the South African justice and foreign ministries and the Indian High Commission to acquire the transcripts from India. Bacon was optimistic that King Commission would meet the Sports Minister, Ngconde Balfour's deadline for the report to be delivered by the end of the year. © CricInfo
