CA rubbishes Mazhar Majeed’s corruption allegations – Cricket News Update
Cricket Australia (CA) has come down hard against the corruption allegations levelled against the Australian cricketers by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mazhar-c75448 Majeed; however, the board does intent to take legal action against those who are found to be involved in any unfair practice.
The board high-ups opine that Majeed’s claims are not reliable or authentic as he is a proven bookie who is desperately dragging others in his scam. They term the allegations to be baseless and to have brought sheer disrepute to some of the iconic Kangaroo
figures.
Talking to the media today, the CA chief executive, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Alexander-Sutherland-c65430, said, “These sweeping statements unfairly malign Australian cricketers. These would appear to be baseless allegations. There is nothing I have heard to suggest that there are Australian
players who are of interest to them.”
Backing Sutherland’s stance, the Australian Cricketers’ Association's Chief Executive, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Marsh-c81144, told, “I don't think he's got a lot of credibility. I found it very interesting that he was prepared to name the names of some Pakistani players but no Australian
players.”

Majeed, in his recording played in the Southwark crown court yesterday, claimed that some of the ace Australian players had been involved in spot-fixing and match-fixing practices in the past. Regarding them as the ‘biggest’ fixers, Majeed disclosed, “The
Australians, they are the biggest, they have 10 brackets a game.”
The agent is being tried in connection with his alleged involvement in the spot-fixing scandal of the three Pakistani players, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) in February 2011
for practicing spot-fixing in Team Pakistan’s Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in August 2010.
Mazhar, who was working as the agent of the trio at that time, arbitrated a deal between the players and a bookie. The story was broken by a British tabloid which is not defunct.
