New Delhi: Former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi on Monday claimed that he has evidence to suggest there was "fixing" in the Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) tournament. Modi took to micro-blogging site Twitter, where he said he would bring it out in the public if the BCCI and ICC didn`t do so.

I've evidence to suggest there was fixing in the Champions League T20 and if the ICC don’t bring it out in the public within a week; I will

The evidence contains players’ statements. My question is why hasn’t the ICC made the evidence public yet? What are they waiting for?

Modi also slammed BCCI and ICC for being ignorant over the issue.

The BCCI and the ICC are not interested in solving the problem of fixing in the sport— Lalit Kumar Modi (@LalitKModi) March 24, 2014

Notably, the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League was marred with fixing allegations where former Chennai Super Kings official and BCCI chief N Srinivasan`s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was found guilty of betting by Justice Mukul Mudgal Committee in a report.
