A special tribunal set up by the Bangladesh Cricket Board said that the ICC's Anti Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) allowed a match in the Bangladesh Premier League even though they knew, it was fixed. The tribunal's report also said, the evidence is clear that the match between Dhaka Gladiators and Chittagong Kings played in Chittagong on the 2nd of February 2013, was fixed and was played with the consent of ACSU. The tribunal, headed by a retired judge, was set up by the board last September after the ICC brought charges against nine people over fixing. Organisers had hired the ICC's investigators to monitor the BPL after its inaugural edition in 2012 was tainted by similar allegations.The tribunal has subsequently convicted one of the owners of the Dhaka Gladiators of match-fixing, while three international players pleaded guilty over the 2013 scandal.ICC spokesman Sami Ul Hasan declined to comment on the report's allegations. However, the chairman of ACSU, Sir Ronald Flanagan, expressed his regret about this failure to inform BCB of this significant matter and made a personal unreserved apology on behalf of ACSU for not involving BCB at that stage.
