Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj has reportedly informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) about a “corrupt approach” during the ODI series between India and Australia in March this year.
Siraj is currently playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
According to ESPNcricinfo, a man sought inside information from Siraj on the matches after losing a lot of money.
It added that the pacer got a call and promptly reported the matter to BCCI officials.
“It wasn’t a bookie who approached Siraj. It is a driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting on matches. He had lost huge money and approached Siraj for inside information,” a senior BCCI source told PTI.
