Twenty nine cricketers, including two Australians are suspected to be involved in spot-fixing at last year's Indian Premier League in South Africa. According to a secret dossier compiled by the ICC's anti-corruption and security unit, the list includes some high-profile names but nobody from England or Pakistan, whose players did not take part due to security issues. A leading London newspaper 'The Sunday Times' claimed that some betting patterns were very suspicious at IPL- 2. Despite long-standing concerns about the integrity of the IPL — whose commissioner Lalit Modi is suspended amid corruption allegations — England players are expected to be available for the entirety of next year's IPL for first time. Three Pakistan players — Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir — were suspended by the ICC for their alleged involvement in sport-fixing in the Lord Test and the trio returned home yesterday.
