IPL Fixing- Five Players Suspended

No comments: Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FIVE Indian Premier League players have been suspended from cricket as fresh fixing allegations hit the game and threatened to further tarnish a competition already dogged by controversy. 


The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) moved swiftly after a sting operation by a local TV channel highlighted alleged fixing and corruption in domestic matches.


The five - T P Sudhindra, Mohnish Mishra, Abhinav Bali, Amit Yadav and Shalabh Srivastava - are all first-class players, but have yet to break into international cricket.
Shalabh Srivastava stops a ball during the IPL Twenty20 cricket match between Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Kings XI Punjab at The Nehru Stadium in Indore.
``The BCCI has decided to suspend these players from all cricket till preliminary investigation into the whole episode is completed,'' IPL commissioner Rajiv Shukla told reporters on Tuesday.


The inquiry will be carried out by former police officer Ravi Sawani, who has previously served on the International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit, Shukla added.


Hindi-language India TV showed Sudhindra, of the Deccan Chargers, allegedly agreeing to bowl pre-arranged no-balls in a local amateur match, while Kings XI Punjab player Srivastava was reportedly heard boasting he could do the same in the IPL.


The channel claimed it had taped seamer Srivastava telling its reporters he could deliver a no-ball in the IPL for one million rupees (about $US18,500).

Srivastava, 30, who has played two seasons of first-class cricket for the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, denied the allegation and threatened to take the TV channel to court.


``The voice which suggests that I am ready to spot-fix is not mine,'' he told the Indian Express newspaper. ``I am ready to clarify this to the BCCI, my team owners and the IPL governing council.


``I will definitely file a case against them.''


Another Kings XI Punjab player, Yadav, was taped saying he had reason to believe that last season's IPL match against Delhi Daredevils was fixed, but could not substantiate his claim.


Mishra and Bali also featured in the sting, which India TV editor-in-chief Rajat Sharma said had been worked on for almost a year.


``We stand by our story and will co-operate fully with any investigation the BCCI plans to carry out,'' Sharma told reporters.


Sudhindra has played in three IPL matches this year and Mishra played one game for Pune Warriors, but Srivastava, Yadav and Bali have not featured in the current tournament.


The IPL, which began in 2008 as a high-octane mix of glamour, entertainment, rich purses for players and the excitement of slam-bang T20 cricket, has endured a difficult ride over the past four years.


The tournament, which features world stars playing for rich franchise owners, is already being investigated by government agencies for alleged fraud and foreign exchange violations.


Its founder Lalit Modi, who was suspended from the league in  2010, is holed up in London facing Indian government and BCCI charges of misappropriation of funds.


Three Pakistan players - Test captain Salman Butt and fast bowlers Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif - plus their agent Mazhar Majeed were last year found guilty of spot-fixing during the 2010 Lord's Test against England and jailed

List of Sold and Unsold Players in IPL Auction 2012....

Labels: , , , , , , , , ,
India and Baroda all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday expectedly turned out to be the biggest draw for the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises, but it was the India Cements owned Chennai Super Kings that succeeded in bagging him for a whopping two million dollars (approximately Rs. 9.72 crore) in the players'' auction for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League here.

India and Baroda all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday expectedly turned out to be the biggest draw for the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises, but it was the India Cements owned Chennai Super Kings that succeeded in bagging him for a whopping two million dollars (approximately Rs. 9.72 crore) in the players'' auction for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League here.

The 23-year-old, whose base price was 100,000 dollars, went to Chennai after the tie-breaker clause was invoked when two teams -- CSK and Deccan Chargers -- bid the maximum (USD two million) for the Saurashtra player.

Both the franchises were asked to bid a secret amount in the tie-breaker and it was Chennai which managed to outbid Deccan in this.

But the cricketer himself will get paid 950,000 dollars as per the contract he had signed with the now-disbanded Kochi Tuskers Kerala last year and even the secret amount that was bid on him by Chennai would go into the BCCI coffers.

Former Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene, incidentally the KTK captain last season, was also a big draw going to Delhi Daredevils for 1.4 million dollars 
(approximately Rs. 6.8 crore).

Jayawardene will, however, get 1.5 million dollars as per his contract last year.

New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum was bought for 900,000 dollars by the Kolkata Knight Riders. McCullum''s base price was 400,000 dollars.

Indian stumper Parthiv Patel went for 650,000 dollars to Deccan Chargers, which was quite high from his base price of 200,000 dollars.
