Cairns confirms fixing probe
Print Edition
Former all-rounder Chris Cairns yesterday acknowledged an International Cricket Council investigation into match-fixing involving three New Zealanders.
“We need to let the investigation by the ICC run its course,” the New Zealander said in a brief statement to Fairfax Media, adding it was the only comment he was prepared to make.
Cairns was working for Sky TV as a commentator in Dunedin where New Zealand is playing the West Indies.
A Sky TV spokesman said Cairns “elected to stop commentating on the current test match and come back to Auckland to be with his family”.
Former New Zealand international Lou Vincent confirmed he was “cooperating” with the ICC. Another player linked to the investigation is now believed to be living in Australia.
Both the ICC and New Zealand Cricket have refused to identify the three players under investigation, other than saying they are former internationals and that no charges have been laid.
The ICC’s anti-corruption unit has spent four months in New Zealand investigating match- and spot-fixing, which The New Zealand Herald said took place in more than one country.
