A Rajasthan Royals player was “inappropriately” approached over a month ago to fix an Indian Premier League (IPL) match, and the Indian cricket board was informed about this, the Royals said Friday.
The player informed the team management about the “inappropriate” approach and it then immediately reported the matter to the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
“Maintaining high standards of integrity, the player informed the Rajasthan Royals management of this inappropriate approach. In keeping with applicable IPL Regulations, Rajasthan Royals management immediately reported the incident to the ACSU of the BCCI,” said Royals chief executive officer Raghu Iyer in a statement on Friday.
The team reaction comes in following Indian Express ’ front page news that a Royals player was approached to fix a match.
