None of current national players under ICC probe: Sri Lanka Cricket

The clarification from the board came after media reports emerged on the comments made by Sports Minister Dullas Alahapperuma on Tuesday. The reports said Alahapperuma had said that three Sri Lanka cricketers were being probed by the ICC for match-fixing. He, however, had not mentioned if they were former or current players.

"Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce that none of the current national players are under investigation by the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit and neither the ICC has informed SLC of such an investigation carried out against any of the current players, as reported by several media institutions," SLC said in a statement on Wednesday.

"SLC strongly believes that, what the Honorable Minister actually mentioned was about an investigation launched by the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit against three former Sri Lanka players and not the current national players," the statement added. IANS
