Cricket board president A C Muthiah has said BCCI internal inquiry into match-fixing allegations by former CBI joint director K Madhavan is likely to suggest punishments to the guilty players though Madhavan himself has said it is for the board to decide on the punishments. The (Madhavan) report is likely to suggest the penalties for the guilty which could range from life ban to erasing the records of the guilty from the books, Muthiah, who is in Sharjah to attend the Asian Cricket Council Meeting, told the Khaleej Times. Muthiah also felt that the inquiry by Madhavan would not reveal anything new. However, Madhavan has said in New Delhi that he would not recommend any punishment even if he found any of the players to be guilty. Madhavan was appointed by Muthiah to go into the CBI report on match-fixing on November 1.
