`Match-fixing in India also’
NEW DELHI: Former skipper Bishan Singh Bedi and
player-turned-parliamentarian Kirti Azad have said Indian
cricket was not free of match-fixing with the latter favouring
a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge into the allegtions.
"The only way to sort out this problem is to initiate an inquiry
headed by a sitting Supreme Court judge and decide once
and for all whether our cricketers are clean or not," former
Test cricketer Kirti Azad said.
Bedi said ``if Pakistani cricketers are involved, I find it
difficult to believe that Indian players are above it all. This is
a disease of the 1990's and it needs to be rooted out before it
reaches the new millennium."
Their comments, as well as that of cricket administrator Sunil
Dev, came during the course of a debate "The Big Fight" on
"Star News" channel, a press release from NDTV said.
Stressing the need for a panel on the lines of the one set up
in Pakistan under Lahore high court judge Malik Mohammad
Qayyum to probe the issue in that country, Azad said he
would raise the issue in the coming Lok Sabha session.
"If anyone has any evidence of match-fixing, they can place
it before the commission, and then let the judge decide
whether there is any truth to it," he said.
Sunil Dev said "I am certain that some Indian cricketers have
been involved in match-fixing" and said he was ready to
provide names if the government ordered a CBI probe,
according to the release.
Sunil Dev was manager of the Indian squad that toured
South Africa in 1997. (PTI)
