Sri Lanka says WC cricket fixing probe dropped for lack of evidence
COLOMBO, July 3, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Sri Lankan police on Friday dropped a match-fixing investigation into the 2011 World Cup final saying they found no evidence of Sri Lankan players letting India win.
“We questioned three — two players and the chief selector –about team selection and changes. We are satisfied with their explanation,” a top police official told AFP. “The inquiry is now closed.”
