The ECB said it passed on the details to the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit.

English cricket's governing body did not say who the players were or which matches were involved.

The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Wednesday that a player with a decade of experience in the English county championship had told England’s Professional Cricketers’ Association about an attempted bribe from an Indian businessman.
