The International Cricket Council today decided to send a special team to Nagpur
to investigate Marlon Samuels alleged links with a bookie.
The team, mainly comprising of ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit officials,
will be in Nagpur by Monday and will have detailed discussions with the Nagpur
police, according to a top BCCI source.
"We have received a communication that a team from ICC will
be going to Nagpur. We are ready to cooperate in the investigations," the
source said.
During their stay in Nagpur, the ACU officials will also interact
with the staff of the hotel where the West Indian cricketers had put up for
their one-day match against India last month.
The ACU team will also try to ascertain whether any other cricketer
was involved in leaking information to bookies.
The team will submit its report to the ICC which would then recommend
what action could be taken against the West Indian all-rounder who has been
accused of leaking information on team composition to alleged bookie Mukesh Kochar.
"The ICC then will forward the report to the West Indies Cricket Board which will have to take action if the player is found to be
guilty," the source said.
