SLC provides ICC with corruption tapes

Colombo: The Sri Lankan cricket board Monday handed over a taped conversation to the International Cricket Council (ICC), which surrounds allegations of an alleged corruption attempt.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) media manager Rajith Fernando said in an emailed statement that the tape was initially given to a local newspaper and a copy of it has now been made available to officials of the Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) of the ICC who are currently in Sri Lanka, reports Xinhua.

Fernando did not reveal the contents of the tape or who was involved in the alleged corruption deal but said that the cricket board was made aware of the tape late last week.

Investigations are underway in coordination with the ICC, Fernando said in the statement without providing further details.

ICC anti-corruption officials are in Sri Lanka to cover the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) cricket tournament which involves cricketers from Sri Lanka and overseas.
