SL player Dilshan ICC scanner for bookie link



In a shocking turn of events, top Sri Lankan batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan has turned out
to be the leading Sri Lankan cricketer the ICC's Anti-corruption and Security Unit has
been monitoring for alleged links with a bookmaker.

The 'Daily Mail' on Friday claimed that Dilshan was the player named in a Sri Lankan
Cricket Board report to ICC's ACSU last year after he was allegedly spotted with a
suspected illegal bookmaker in a London nightclub.

"The player concerned has been under the ICC's scanner since the Twenty20 World Cup
in England in 2009," it said.

"There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of Dilshan. The Sri Lankans
followed the ICC's protocol to the letter, reporting the alleged incident as soon as it was made known to the team management," the 'Daily Mail' report said.

"He has done nothing wrong. There is no evidence against any of the Sri Lankan
players. None of them are guilty. These allegations are being drummed up by
unscrupulous elements who are trying to upset Sri Lanka's plans for the (2011) World
Cup," the spokesman was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamir were suspended by the ICC and interrogated by Scotland Yard after a British tabloid claimed in a sting operation that they took bribe from a bookie to bowl deliberate no-balls during a Test match against England at Lord's two weeks ago.
