World Cup-winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga yesterday said corruption "goes right to the top" in Sri Lanka and accused the ICC of undermining the game by failing to tackle match-fixing. Ranatunga, now a government minister, said cricket corruption in Sri Lanka went far beyond the claims made in an Al Jazeera documentary which aired on Sunday.
"This is something that goes right to the top [in Sri Lanka]. What they will catch is the small fish. As usual, the bigger fish will get away," he said. The documentary alleged that a Sri Lankan player and groundsman were involved a pitch-tampering plot and that there was spot-fixing during Tests between India and England, and India against Australia.
"I am disappointed with the ICC anti-corruption unit. If they can't see what is happening in Sri Lanka, then they should not sit on this anti-corruption unit," Ranatunga said, referring to prior complaints against Sri Lanka Cricket.
