In the wake of the recent ball-tampering scandal, another controversy is already on its way.

As per reports in Indian Express, a member of Indian ICC 2011 World Cup winning squad, is under scrutiny over alleged links with the match-fixing syndicates.

Reportedly, the syndicate organised a domestic T20 tournament in Jaipur last July.

The tournament, Rajputana Premier League (RPL), had first come under BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Security Unit (ACSU) last year. However, Rajasthan Police’s CID team is currently running the investigation process.

The RPL involved club cricketers and was telecasted live on Neo Sports, the former rights-holders of Indian cricket.

As reported in Indian Express, Rajasthan Police have found the mastermind of the organised cricket racket has links with the former international player who represented India in all three formats of the game.

Reportedly, the former cricketer also visited the tournament that witnessed bizarre passages of play. For instance, sources said, a bowler conceded eight byes by bowling “blatant wides” in the final over of a tight contest. Subsequently, the BCCI requested Rajasthan Police to probe the league.

Meanwhile, police obtained information about former cricketers during the interrogation of the 14 persons. The police arrested them last July form four hotels in Jaipur for suspected betting and fixing activities linked to the RPL.

Police recovered cash, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, and laptops from them.

CID took over the case in November last year, while the 14 arrested are out on bail now. Such leagues reportedly make Rs 2-3 crores a week.

“We are currently probing links between private entities, those who are part of the cricket fraternity and officials. We will take action if there is evidence that links them to corruption,” Pankaj Kumar Singh, Additional DGP CID (Crime) said.

However, he refused the share the details of the possible involvement of an Indian cricketer in the racket. The police are banking on call records to unearth what could be a “high profile” case.

Meanwhile, the report also says spotter or a handler stood right outside the ground to execute the plan properly. The spotter reportedly tells players what the bookies want via the walkie-talkies that are used by the on-field umpires.
