Cricket's global governors insist there is no evidence the ongoing Ashes is in danger of corruption. Alex Marshall, general manager of the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit, held a conference call with the body's chief executive Dave Richardson and English and Australian counterparts following allegations published in The Sun newspaper. Marshall and Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive James Sutherland have both spelled out, following those conversations, that there is no indication any player has been in contact with alleged fixers.
