International team under corruption investigation

[Stuge]

An international team is under investigation for corruption, the ICC's anti-corruption unit chairman has revealed at the outset of the World Twenty20 in India. Sir Ronnie Flanagan said the ACU had thwarted attempts to "manipulate" events in forthcoming matches to facilitate betting, and that action had been initiated against "one or two individuals".

He refused to elaborate on the "ongoing" matter, but cited it as an example of the ACU acting on intelligence received and playing a proactive role in preventing acts of corruption.

"It will be very difficult for me to talk about specific details about an ongoing case, but quite recently we have a reason to believe that members of a particular team have intentions to manipulate events in forthcoming matches," Flanagan said at a media interaction in Mumbai ahead of the World T20. "This was an international team but I am not going to go into any details because it is still under our investigation.

"Certain individuals, we believed, had intention to manipulate events to facilitate betting on those events. Just like police have to make these operational decisions - in terms of how long or how far you allow something to develop or when do you intervene - we decided in this particular case we would intervene immediately. We would focus on individuals who we suspected, but we would remind the entire squad of all their responsibilities. am certain that our action in that particular case did indeed avert the intention of just one or two individuals, and we have taken action in relation to those individuals and we will be taking further action."

If one or two individuals of an international team are under investigation, why is ACU implying that an entire team is under the spotlight  

Sudden major changes in squads could provide hints

Usual suspects! Khurram dropped Shehzad returns within one month. Afridi opposing Butt's inclusion while Inzi supporting it

All eyes are on "a" team.  People don't have to look too far.

Personally though, I think this reference is against one of those non-descript teams like Holland, UAE etc.  Only one from the top 8, I for some reason like to think is RSA

wholesale changes in SL team too
