The International Cricket Council (ICC) today confirmed several new investigations are underway following the interception of a number of known corruptors at the Qatar T10 league.
The ICC Anti-Corruption Unit was appointed by the organisers as the designated Anti-Corruption official.
Alex Marshall General Manager, ICC Integrity Unit said: “The ICC sanctioned this event 12 months ago based on the sound information provided by the organisers.
However substantial changes to both team ownership and the
organisers just days prior to the event getting underway rang alarm bells for
us and we applied additional investigative resource on the ground to address
our concerns.
“As a result we have intercepted a number of known corruptors both in Qatar and
globally and disrupted planned corrupt activity at the event. This has given
rise to a number of new investigations for the ICC ACU team as we continue in
our efforts to ensure cricket is a corruption free sport.”
The tournament’s final took place on Monday, with the Falcon Hunters beating the Swift Gallopers by four wickets.
