CRICKET officials yesterday suspended the co-owner of an Indian Premier League team and announced plans for a major clean-up of the sport after an illegal betting and spot-fixing scandal.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India held an emergency meeting in New Delhi into the Rajasthan Royals IPL franchise and its co-owner Raj Kundra amid the ongoing scandal. "Mr Raj Kundra has been suspended, pending an inquiry, from all cricketing activities," BCCI interim head Jagmohan Dalmiya told reporters after the meeting. Kundra has admitted illegally betting on his own team, according to police. Three Royals players, including Test fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, and numerous bookmakers have been arrested over allegations of spot-fixing during the recently-completed edition of the IPL. After yesterday's meeting Dalmiya released a blueprint called "Operation Clean-up" aimed at stamping out "sleaze" and corruption in the multi-billion dollar Twenty20 tournament.
