Colombo, Sept 17: The International Cricket Council (ICC) today said its anti-corruption unit (ACU) had called for video tapes of the opening match in the ICC Champions Trophy between Pakistan and Sri Lanka to "review specific incidents'. "The ACU has confirmed that as part of the security protocol put in place for the event, it has requested that the host broadcaster supply it with tapes of all matches played by all 12 teams competing in Colombo," the ICC said in a media release here. "Specifically, it has reviewed a number of incidents that took place in the opening match of the tournament between Sri Lanka and Pakistan on September 12," the release said.
ICC spokesman Mark Harrison declined to elaborate on the specific incidents involved, telling mediapersons that he could neither discuss them nor speculate on the outcome of the exercise.
He said the viewing of these tapes was part of the "security protocol" and it could be repeated in relation to any match in the tournament. "If anything looks odd, they will look into it," Harrison said.
Harrisn, however, denied that any meeting of the Anti-corruption unit took place here on Monday. Bureau Report
