Father of the former Delhi age- group cricketer, caught in the Ashes spot-fixing controversy, says his son has never even been to England or Australia, let alone fix matches involving the two countries. In a sting operation conducted by British tabloid 'The Sun', Sobers Joban, along with another alleged bookie Priyank Saxena, are seen claiming that they can fix Ashes Test in lieu of 140,000 pounds.

"My son has never been to UK or Australia and they (The Sun) are claiming that he could have fixed an Ashes Test,"
