Colombo, May 30
World Cup-winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga on Wednesday said corruption “goes right to the top” in Sri Lanka and accused the International Cricket Council of undermining the game by failing to tackle match-fixing. Ranatunga, now a minister, said cricket corruption in Sri Lanka went far beyond the claims made in an Al Jazeera documentary which aired on Sunday.
Ranatunga said the allegations must be investigated, “but this must have been happening for a long time”. “This is something that goes right to the top (in Sri Lanka). What they will catch is a small fish. As usual the bigger fish will get away,” he said. “I am so disappointed with the ICC anti-corruption unit. If they can’t see what is happening in Sri Lanka, they should not sit on this anti-corruption unit.” — AFP
