Azharuddin and 4 Others Are Punished for Cricket Match Fixing : Former India Captain Banned


NEW DELHI— Mohammed Azharuddin, the former India captain and one of world cricket's finest batsmen, was banned from the sport for life Tuesday for his involvement in match fixing.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI, whose role in the matter had come under criticism from India's federal investigation agency, known as the CBI, also announced bans for three other players and a former India team physiotherapist.

Ajay Sharma, who played for the country in one test match against the West Indies in 1989, also was banned for life. Ajay Jadeja, a middle-order batsman, Dr. Ali Irani, a physiotherapist, and, ironically, Manoj Prabhakar, who started the scandal when he accused others of match fixing, all received five-year bans for their involvement with bookmakers.

"This is a sad day in the annals of Indian cricket," A.C. Muthiah, chief of the BCCI, said after a meeting of the board's disciplinary committee in Madras.

"There is clear evidence of match fixing against Azharuddin," Muthiah said. "There also is evidence that Sharma acted as a conduit for match fixing. That's why we clubbed the two of them together and gave life bans. Others had nexus with bookmakers and introduced players to the bookmakers, which is a serious breach of cricketing codes."

The BCCI has been under pressure since the release of a CBI report on match fixing in November. The report accused these players of having links with bookies and of "under-performing" in return for huge sums of money. In a country where cricket means what soccer does in Europe, there has been a public outcry demanding punishment for the guilty.

The CBI devoted a full chapter of its report to the BCCI. The report said that while there was no evidence that any officials were involved in match fixing, such a widespread racket was not possible without their knowledge.

Before the CBI report become public, Azharuddin said he was being targeted because, as a Muslim, he belonged to the minority community. He did not comment Tuesday.

Sharma, the other player banned for life, told a news agency that "the decision of the board is arbitrary" and that he was "going to seek legal remedy."

Jadeja denied any wrongdoing and said he would appeal against the punishment. "I have to restore my credibility," he said. "I will appeal to the board and even go to the court to get justice."

The CBI report had linked Sharma with Azharuddin, saying the former was responsible for introducing the bookmaker Mukesh Gupta to Azharuddin. Hansie Cronje, the South African captain banned in October, has said Azharuddin introduced him to Gupta in 1997 in India...

there are many famous player who were either banned or finned

How did you know that. Just because that they are Pakistani.

duh...he is an Indian

 

[JanjaWeed]

let's calm down. it's the season. cricket story sells for a change in britain. so, the tabloids are making the most of it. nothing will come out of this as this will be next to impossible to prove the wrong doings..

if the same logic applies, most of the FIFA 2010 football games were fixed as paul the octopus predicted the results prior to the kick off & punters placed their bet accordingly, players played as per the predictions too. Let's prosecute all of them!!

Justice Thats differance mate, PCB didnt punished players who were involved in match fixing except Salim Malik, who was made scapegoat, he was nearing end of his career anyways. No action was taken against Wasim, Waqar, Mushi and others.

13yrs and not a single accusation.

 

[Gentle Typhoon]

British newspaper has alleged that the third One Day between Pakistan and England was fixed. Following the allegations International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched an inquiry into the claim.
The Pakistani team is under fire from the British media who earlier alleged that as many as three Pakistani stars were involved in spot-fixing. The newspaper further claims that the details of the Pakistani innings were predetermined and England was bound to twin the game but suddenly things changed due to Umer Gul's devastating spell of accurate bowling.
So far there is no concrete evidence that of match-fixing and it seems that Pakistan’s victory against England did not go well with the British media.

MORE SELF PWNAGE. WHO IS ***** idiot now?

I am talking about the current game you ******* idiot. The quote you have is regarding the previous controversy.

Read this full sentence:

The newspaper further claims that the details of the Pakistani innings were predetermined and England was bound to win the game but suddenly things changed due to Umer Gul's devastating spell of accurate bowling.

More hilarious BS. This sentence implies match-fixing from Pakistan's side which is quite a silly statement.

Btw, MORE self-pwnage? When did it occur previously? I like how you have your head completely buried in the sand.

They are talking about a lot of details. So many details point toward match-fixing, not spot-fixing. If you fix so many details, chances are you'll lose.
