SHILLONG: The Committee of Administrators (COA) has directed the BCCI’s Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) to probe if Aushim Khetarpal – the man former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming and England all-rounder Chris Lewis claimed offered £30,000 to fix a Test match in 1999 – is associated with the Meghalaya Premier T20 League.
Meghalaya Cricket Association (MCA) secretary Naba Bhattacharjee stated that Khetarpal was one of the people who had submitted a proposal to conduct the T20 tournament in the state but clarified that the MoU had not yet been signed. He said that the proposal was studied and it was found that the antecedents of the person is not good,” Bhattacharjee said.
However, there was no mention of Khetarpal being under the scanner in 1999 for alleged match-fixing links in the news report.
