4 Sri Lankan Players Involved In Fixing In World Cup Final Match

2011-04-29T20:16:00.000-07:00

Sri Lankan Cricket team’s former captain Hasan Tilakaratne said in sensational revelation on Friday 29, April 2011 that match-fixing is common in his country. He said that it is running in Sri Lanka from the long time.

Playing 83 Tests and 200 ODIs for Sri Lanka's Tilakaratne disclosed this sensational during a TV show. Tillakaratne said, "Why were 4 players changed in the World Cup Final? If we do not stop it, then we will be like, Pakistan recently”. However, he also said that he is not claiming that Sri Lankan players were involved in the match-fixing in the World Cup final match. But, of course said that match-fixing has spread like 'cancer' in Sri Lanka.

On April 2, 2011, Sri Lanka made major changes in team replacing the 4 players. Nobody was expecting for such a huge change. But now, this case has deepened due to raising the question from Tilakaratne.

He also said that match-fixing is running since 1992 in his country and he will disclose the names of involved players in the future. Although, sports minister of Sri Lanka Mahindananda Aluthgamage has rejected the outright allegations of Tilakaratne. He said that “Tilakaratne should give evidence instead of claiming”. No player of Sri Lanka is involved in match-fixing.

Tillakaratne told to reporters that "someone will have to come forward to erase the stigma”. They have a network and it is very hard to get out from there. He said money have given to many players to keep quiet.

Tillakaratne was the captain of test team from 2003 to 2004 and it is not the first time when he is against Sri Lankan Cricket Board. In 2008, after being a team manager, he was removed from this post within two days at that time; he commented that Cricket in Sri Lanka is going through a “bad time”.

Are all corrupted in the world? And, Tillakaratne is saying that fixing is common in his country then, should he not immediately reveal the names of players? Has fixing become so as the corruption in the country’s system?

2011 World Cup Cricket Trophy Of ICC Is Original Or Fake

2011-04-05T06:52:00.000-07:00

World Cup trophy which was raised by Dhoni and his team after winning the final match against Sri Lanka by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday 2 April, 2011 was fake. It claims an English newspaper. But BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla dismissed the claim of being fake trophy of ICC World Cup saying that the trophy given to India is real and original. Also, Shukla also lashed the Custom Department that it is not right to charge the tax on the national honor.

But cricket fans anger are erupting against the ICC's chief Sharad Pawar. Hundreds of cricket fans burnt the effigy of Pawar on Monday.

The question raised over the credibility of trophy has started to bother the Indian cricket team's stars. Team India's star batsman Gautam Gambhir has expressed outrage over the case after questions are up on the credibility of the World Cup trophy. He said "India worked very hard in the tournament and the real trophy should be given”.

Newspaper 'Mail Today' claims that Dhoni kissed the trophy after the winning world final was merely a replica of the real trophy. It never happened in the 36 years history of World Cup.

Paper claims that the real trophy was kept in the government warehouse which was ceased by the custom department when it was brought to Mumbai at the time of Sri Lanka vs New Zeland semi-final match in Colombo. Custom Department has ceased the trophy citing the laws. Custom officials believe that custom duty should be charged on the trophy and any kind of concession cannot be granted. According to the World Cup tournament director Suru Nayak, real trophy is now being arranged to send back to Dubai.

But the ICC says that the real trophy was laid in BCCI's headquarters before the World Cup tournament and the Custom Department presenting the trophy is a replica of the real trophy, which is only used for promotion, etc. But According to the custom officials of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport if it is not the real trophy then why ICC is trying to release it.

ICC says that the trophy exists in the possession of the custom has no value and is used only for promotion. But the experts judged it so close and found its value is estimated at Rs 6 lakh. It is made of gold and silver. The custom duty is on trophy is of Rs 15 lakh. Custom official said it is a replica trophy then how could be value of it as real has?

According another newspaper Mid-Day, the custom officials claiming that the trophy had been recovered from the Australian woman, it was the real trophy. Custom officials caught Australian Woman Emile Felisetie while she was crossing the green channel. She had the wooden box in which the trophy was kept. Interestingly, the green channel at the airport is for the international passengers who could not travel with anything for which they had to pay customs duty.

Mail Today said, "the letter issued by the ICC was also received from the Australian woman which states that it is the World Cup trophy." There was nothing written anywhere in the letter that it is a replica of the original World Cup and it is exempted from custom duty.

But the officers associated with this case considered that BCCI is responsible for the confusion arising out in this matter. According to them they should write world cup trophy at the time of demanding exemption from custom duty. They also raising the question that ICC and BCCI are extremely wealthy institutions, why are not they paying customs duty for that? Such duty is nothing important for them.

ICC itself has completely confused with their frequent misrepresentation in this case. ICC spokesman said that no any real trophy is given to the winning team, only replica is given to them. But the drawn pictures of Australian Captain Steve Waugh in the 1999 World Cup and Ricky Pointing in the years 2003 and 2007 proves the ICC’s claim false. All of the names of the winners after 1975 have been sculpted in the original trophy. The 'Mail Today' said it is nothing in the trophy like before which was awarded Indian team. The real trophy has value of worth Rs 60 lakh in the market.

ICC CEO also repeated in Mumbai that the trophy was given to India is original but they could not clear that whether the trophy received this time has the recorded names of the previous winners.
