    ICC response:

    The ICC and its relevant members have been made aware of the allegations made by India TV this evening and calls on the station to turnover any information which can assist the ICC’s urgent investigations into this matter.

    The ICC re-iterates its zero-tolerance towards corruption whether alleged against players or officials. The ICC confirms that none of the umpires named were involved in any of the official games of the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.

    The ICC will not make any further comment on this issue.

    Some way on topic, has anyone here read the book "Caught out, Shocking Revelations of Corruption in International Cricket" by Brian Radford?

    If so is it any good? About to start reading it after it has been sitting on the shelf at home for a few weeks :)
