India pacer Mohammed Siraj has reported to BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) about a man who wanted inside information after losing money while betting
Siraj was approached during the ODI series between India and Australia in March and he immediately reported the matter to Anti-Corruption Unit officials on Wednesday
The BCCI has intensified its anti-corruption campaign ever since Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan, and Ajit Chandila were detained on suspicion of spot-fixing
Also, former CSK official Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested for links to betting in May 2013
Players are required to attend an ACU session, and there are consequences for failing to report a corrupt strategy
Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh, was suspended in 2019 for failing to report a corrupt strategy used during a tri-series in early 2018 and during his IPL tenure later that year
Notably, Siraj is currently in action in the IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore
He has delivered many crucial powerplay spells for his franchise so far, having taken eight wickets in five matches at an average of 17.50 and an economy rate of 7
