ICC denies investigating players

The International Cricket Council has denied it is investigating players in the Ashes series over alleged attempts by some batsmen to use silicone tape on the edge of their bats to confuse Hot Spot technology.

Australia’s Channel Nine TV reported yesterday the ICC was investigating the use of silicone, amid increasing controversy during the five-test series between England and Australia over the inconsistency of the Decision Review System.

“These media reports are totally incorrect,” ICC chief executive Dave Richardson said in a statement.

“Geoff Allardice (ICC general manager cricket) is meeting with both teams and umpires to see how we can best use the DRS and the available technology going forward in the next two test matches. It has nothing to do with any players.”
