The allegations were made by the infamous Indian bookmaker, MK Gupta, to Indian police at the end of last year and concern former captain, Arjuna Ranatunga and leading batsman, Aravinda de Silva. They are alleged to have ensured that India beat Sri Lanka in a Test in 1994.
Ranatunga and de Silva both deny the charges, though de Silva admits he was approached by bookmakers.
