The President of the International Cricket Council Jagmohan Dalmiya
has refused to comment on the allegations made against him, by the
former President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India IS
Bindra. Talking in Calcutta on Thursday, Dalmiya said, ``It's below my
dignity to comment against such allegations. I have nothing really to
say.''
However, after slight persuasion, Dalmiya said, ``he has stated that
some administrator of the Pakistan Cricket Board had informed him
(Bindra) about a `fixed match.' If he has any concrete proof about
this allegation he should divulge them to the Delhi Police and help
the BCCI in cleaning up the game.''
Dalmiya also added that 10 members of the BCCI had assured him that
they would co-operate with the Delhi Police on the issue of match
fixing. They will also submit a report to the ICC, which we will go
through at the meting at Lord's on May 2 and 3.
However, later in the day, in an online chat session on Doordarshan,
Dalmiya stated that he had doubts even regarding the ongoing
investigation. ``There are four people who are saying that they have
knowledge about bookies and betting. However, not a single
investigating agency is questioning them or asking them to disclose
facts.''
