Int'l team's fixing plot foiled: ICC

The International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit believes it has prevented a spot-fixing incident and identified the plotters.

The chairman of the unit, Sir Ronnie Flanagan, said on Sunday the alleged fix involved members of an international team. He did not disclose the individuals or the country involved as the case is still being investigated.

However, the unit has acted in an attempt to prevent another potential betting scandal by bringing the team together and reminding them of their responsibilities.

"Quite recently, we had reason to believe that members of a particular team had intentions to manipulate events in forthcoming matches,” Flanagan said. "This was an international team, but I am not going to go into any details. Certain individuals had intention to manipulate events, to facilitate betting on those events.
