Media Statement from the ICC Anti-Corruption unit

Lord Griffiths, Chairman of the ICC's Code of Conduct Commission, today tasked the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) with following up allegations of corruption contained in the Indian CBI report.

The CBI report names 15 overseas (non-Indian) cricketers in its 166 pages and was published today (1,11.00) by the Indian Government. The Board of Control for Cricket in India will act in regard to the Indian cricketers named in the report.

Lord Griffiths has asked Sir Paul Condon's Unit to liaise closely with the Indian authorities on the content of the report. As a result, investigators from the ACU will be visiting India later this week. The Code of Conduct Commission and the ACU will subsequently advise the ICC and its constituent Boards on any further recommendations for action to be taken.

"The ICC Code of Conduct Commission has acted to respond to the publication of the CBI report. The Anti-Corruption Unit has a mandate to instigate further investigations into these allegations and is working closely with the CBI and ICC member Boards to carry out this task," said Sir Paul Condon, Director of the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit.
