MUMBAI: A British newspaper has revealed Indian cricketer Suresh Raina’s links with a bookmaker but the Indiana cricket board on Sunday described the report baseless while the International Cricket Council (ICC) refused to give any comment.

The ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit is probing why the Indian Board kept quiet about a report of its player Suresh Raina being seen in the company of a woman linked to an associate of an illegal bookmaker, a media report said in London.

Making it clear that Raina was not suspected of any wrongdoing, 'The Sunday Times', quoting a senior ICC source, said the incident related to India's tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year.

With the heightened security concerns following the 2009 terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Pakistan, the Sri Lankans deputed a former general to look after the Indian team.

CCTV Cameras installed at the Indian team hotel showed that on more than one night Raina was in the company of a woman known to be an associate of a man allegedly linked to a bookmaker.

A report, including the CCTV footage, was submitted by the Sri Lankan Cricket Board to their Indian counterparts.

Let us see what action ICC takes against a strong cricket board and the player of a strong country.
Pakistani players are made qurbani ka bakra because of a weak cricket board and being a citizen of an economically weak country.

Will see.

The Cricket Board on Sunday rubbished media reports of BCCI keeping quiet on Suresh Raina accompanying a woman allegedly linked to illegal bookmakers during the Sri Lankan tour, saying that she was the agent of the Indian batsman.

BCCI spokesperson Rajiv Shukla termed "baseless and untrue" the London 'Sunday Times' report that ICC's ACSU is probing why Indian Board kept quiet about a report by Sri Lanka Cricket of Raina being seen in company of a woman linked to an associate of a bookie.

"That is untrue and baseless. It's all rubbish. No complaint had ever come to BCCI from either the ICC or SLC. BCCI had never received any complaint on this matter. Actually, the lady is Raina's agent," Shukla said.

"Raina was with the lady to sign some papers and complete formalities. She was also agent of some Sri Lankan players. It has nothing to do with any anti-corruption matter or any matter outside cricket," said Shukla who is also BCCI Vice-President.

"It is just media speculation and nothing else," he added.

Suresh Raina is innocent until proven guilty. If he was a Pakistani then it would been different case.
