LNP – ICC’s anti-corruption chief says no record of any letter on match-fixing from ex-Sports Minister

ICC Anti-Corruption Unit General Manager Alex Marshall has responded to allegations of corruption with regards to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2011 final.

He stated that the ICC Integrity Unit has looked into the recent allegations regarding the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Final 2011 and that they have not been presented with any evidence to support the claims.

 “At this time, we have not been presented with any evidence that supports the claims made or which would merit launching an investigation under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.”

 ”There is no record of any letter regarding this matter sent by the then Sri Lanka Sports Minister to the ICC and senior ICC staff at the time have confirmed they have no recollection of receiving any such letter which would have led to an investigation.”Â

“We have no reason to doubt the integrity of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Final 2011,” he said.

“We take all allegations of this nature extremely seriously and should we receive any evidence to corroborate the claims, we will review our current position.

“If anyone has any evidence that this match or any other has been subject to match-fixing, we would urge them to get in contact with the ICC Integrity team.”Â
