Lankan umpires suspended



Six umpires, including three Sri Lankans who were allegedly caught in a TV sting willing to fix decisions in cricket matches, have been suspended till the completion of inquiry by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Issuing a statement, the ICC said that "...ICC and its relevant Full Member Boards have agreed not to appoint any of the umpires named in a sting operation recently conducted by India TV to any domestic or international cricket matches pending the outcome of the ongoing investigations into the allegations made."

"The officials named are not contracted by the ICC and those Boards who employ and nominate the umpires directly will conduct the investigations as a matter of urgency," the ICC said.
