Allegations of fixing in Sri Lanka-Pakistan Test; ICC investigation!

Sri Lankan cricket has once again been accused of fixing. Pakistan toured Sri Lanka in July. At that time, the country was in a state of extreme economic distress. There were protests on the streets every day.
In such a situation, the visitors won by 4 wickets chasing the target of 342 runs in the Galle Test. This time, a Member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka has raised questions about the match.

Nalin Bandara, an MP, alleged that Sri Lanka had abandoned the Galle Test against Pakistan. Pointing fingers at the Sri Lankan Cricket Board, he said, “In the last Pakistan series, our team scored 400 runs. But they lost in the last innings. Everyone has been paid, starting from those who roll the pitch. The board has now become a gambling arena. ‘

According to Cricbuzz, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board has initiated a full investigation into the allegations. At their invitation, the ICC’s anti-corruption body AKSU has taken over the investigation of this Test. According to the rules, the ICC will not comment before the end of the investigation. The Sri Lankan Cricket Board has often been accused of corruption.
