Emirates asks India to help in matchfixing probe
19 February 2001

The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) has requested its Indian counterpart to help in its matchfixing inquiry led by former West Indian skipper Clive Lloyd.

The ECB has asked India and four other national cricket boards to prepare a list of potential witnesses and also make them available to be questioned by the probe panel, the Gulf News quoted an ECB spokesman as saying.

The spokesman said he has already received copy of an affidavit submitted to the Pakistan Cricket Board by former PCB chairman Khalid Mehmood and former PCB secretary Waqar Ahmed in which they have denied having told the former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India IS Bindra anything on match fixing during the tournaments in Sharjah.

The ECB chief Abdul Rehman Bukhatir set up a probe panel after Bindra alleged matchfixing at CBFS tournaments and cited Mehmood and Ahmed as witnesses in his testimony to CBI. ECB officials have told ICC that under the pretext of alleged match fixing, there were attempts to reduce the number of international venues so that the traditional venues get more engagements, the report added.
