CBI team to visit Britain to investigate telecast-rights fraud
13 June 2001

A Central Bureau of Investigation team will visit Britain this month to investigate an alleged multi-million pound telecast-rights fraud involving fixing of fees for international tournaments.

According to sources, the CBI, which probed into the match-fixing episode in India, is seeking support from the International Cricket Council to gather evidence as some ICC officials are under its scrutiny.

The CBI has filed five criminal cases against some officials of the national broadcaster Doordarshan.

Meanwhile, England's chairman of selectors David Graveney has said that the recent investigation into match-fixing played a part in the decision not to participate in the Sharjah Cup last April.

"It would be naive to think we would ignore that factor," Graveney told BBC Radio 5 Live. But he said the amount of top-class cricket expected from England's top players was also a consideration.
