(16 May) Delhi police special cell arrested three cricketers of the Rajasthan Royals team, including test-discard Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, in a late night raid on Wednesday after surveillance confirmed telephonic talks between bookies in India and Pakistan over betting in the ongoing T20 tournament. In a swift follow-up, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) ordered suspension of the three till further inquiry. The trio would be produced before a court in Delhi. Sreesanth was arrested from his friend’s house, while spinners Ankit Chavan and Ajit Chandila were picked up from the team hotel in Mumbai. Apart from the cricketers, seven bookies from Mumbai and two from Delhi have also been arrested, police sources said. Raids were on to nab two more bookies in Delhi. In a statement, BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale said, “The BCCI is shocked and saddened at the recent developments. The BCCI has zero tolerance to corruption. We will offer all cooperation to the Delhi police.

…

“The special cell of the Delhi police arrested Sreesanth from his friend’s place in Mumbai while the other two cricketers were arrested on Thursday night from the team hotel at Nariman Point for their alleged role in spot fixing.Sreesanth is noted for his exuberant and emotional behaviour, especially whilst appealing for and celebrating wickets. Such trademark behaviour has seen him frequently fined for violating the player conduct guidelines of the International Cricket Council.

His emotional antics, which have led him to be regarded by some commentators as eccentric, were frequently noted.

He was fined after breaching the International Cricket Council’s advertising logo policy, and also for “conduct contrary to the spirit of the game” after sending off Hashim Amla after dismissing him during India’s 2006 tour to South Africa atJohannesburg.

He was also involved in a highly-publicised confrontation while batting against paceman André Nel.”
