IPL not covered by ICC match-fixing unit
Even as the media goes to town about Indian Sports Minister MS Gill expressing concerns that a mobile game revolving around the IPL is fuelling betting and gambling, a lot of people seem to have forgotten that the IPL had very publicly refused to use ICC’s anti-corruption and security experts in South Africa for the tournament, preferring to rely on its internal staff. Now, if that does not leave the door open for match fixers, we have no idea what does. There have already been whispers and murmurings about weird team selections and decisions, but maybe we are reading too much into cricket’s glorious uncertainties.
