BCCI ACU to probe Mumbai player's bookie claim: CoA

New Delhi: With a Mumbai Ranji player claiming that he was approached by bookies to "underperform" during the just concluded Mumbai T20 league, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is waiting for the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to pass the necessary information to the board so that BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit head Ajit Singh and his team can get cracking.

A member of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) said that the board is waiting for the MCA to pass the information to the ACU so that the matter can be investigated and action taken.

"The board has a zero tolerance policy towards corruption and the MCA must immediately hand over all the information to the BCCI so that Ajit Singh and his team can investigate the matter and get to the bottom of what exactly transpired. No question of not looking into the matter," the CoA member said. While the MCA also has an anti-corruption unit, former MCA and BCCI official Ratnakar Shetty explained that the state units aren't really equipped to handle such matters and it is best that the matter is handed over to the BCCI at the earliest.
