The spectre of spot-fixing in cricket has reared its head yet again, with the game’s governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), revealing on Monday that as many as five international captains have been approached by bookies over the past 12 months.
The ICC also said Afghanistan’s wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Shahzad had been approached during the ongoing Asia Cup with an offer to underperform in the Afghanistan Premier League T20 tournament, to be played in Sharjah in October.
