Ganguly joins panel probing IPL spot-fixing scam

The Supreme Court had directed the probe committee to select a cricketer of ‘impeccable integrity’ who would help the committee on the cricketing matters related to IPL betting and spot-fixing. ‘We had requested Sourav Ganguly to join the IPL probe panel and he has agreed to join us in the investigations. I had telephoned Sourav and he confirmed me about coming on board. We haven’t yet decided on the day when we will meet,’ Justice Mudgal told agencies on Sunday. Ganguly’s name was doing the rounds for quite some time as he is one of the contemporary cricketers having played in IPL till 2012. He is conversant with the modern day game and has an unquestionable reputation when it comes to integrity. That he galvanised a side after the match-fixing saga of 2000 is also something that the Indian public still remembers. He will be allowed to carry on with his media commitments.
