Johannesburg:&nbsp;South Africa fast bowler&nbsp;Lonwabo Tsotsobe is reportedly under investigation in a&nbsp;match-fixing case that has already seen one of the country's&nbsp;former international players banned for 20 years.
Tsotsobe told the Wisden India website today that he had&nbsp;handed over his bank account and cellphone records after being&nbsp;asked for them by national federation Cricket South Africa.&nbsp;

Former South Africa limited-overs batsman Gulam Bodi was&nbsp;banned last month after admitting he conspired to recruit&nbsp;players to fix matches, or parts of matches, in South Africa's&nbsp;domestic Twenty20 league last year.
Documents leaked to the South African media show eight&nbsp;players were approached by Bodi. Media reports have named&nbsp;former South Africa wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile and now&nbsp;Tsotsobe, who are both former teammates of Bodi in domestic&nbsp;cricket, as two of those players.
"I've given them (Cricket South Africa) everything they&nbsp;want. My phone bills, my messages, my bank accounts,&nbsp;everything," Tsotsobe was quoted as saying by Wisden India.&nbsp;"They said they would get back to me."&nbsp;
Tsotsobe denied taking money from Bodi to fix. Tsolekile&nbsp;has previously denied being under investigation.
Cricket South Africa declined to comment on Tsotsobe&nbsp;today, saying the match-fixing investigation was ongoing. CSA&nbsp;has declined to confirm or deny that Tsolekile is being&nbsp;investigated.
Tsotsobe, a left-arm seam bowler, has played five Tests,&nbsp;61 One-Day Internationals and 23 Twenty20 games for South&nbsp;Africa. He last represented the Proteas at the T20 World Cup&nbsp;in Bangladesh in 2014.
Tsolekile played the last of his three Tests in 2004.&nbsp;
Indian-born Bodi was found guilty of approaching players to&nbsp;fix games for betting syndicates, with leaked investigation&nbsp;documents saying players were offered up to USD 50,000 per&nbsp;game to underperform.
Announcing Bodi's sanction last month, CSA chief&nbsp;executive Haroon Lorgat said. "Several" players turned down&nbsp;Bodi's approaches. However, some are believed to have&nbsp;entertained them and shown willingness to fix games.
Bodi was caught in the planning stage and CSA said it does not&nbsp;believe that any games were actually fixed.
The investigation echoes the Hansie Cronje scandal, when&nbsp;South Africa's popular Test captain was banned for life for&nbsp;fixing in 2000.&nbsp;
