BCCI denies report on Suresh Raina
The Indian cricket board has denied a news story that Sri Lanka Cricket had reported against Suresh Raina on association with illegal bookmakers during a tour of the island nation and that it remained non-committal to the complaint.
“The BCCI has just learnt that several media outlets are claiming that Sri Lanka Cricket had submitted a report on Suresh Raina to it, and that no action was taken by the Board on the same.
“The BCCI would like to clarify that it has received no such report from SLC. The claims being made by a section of the media are totally baseless and false,” said N. Srinivasan
Hony. Secretary, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in a media release on Sunday.
An earlier media report said the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit of International Cricket Council (ICC) is probing why the BCCI is silent about a report of its player Suresh Raina being seen in the company of a woman linked to an associate of an illegal bookmaker.
