“I am encouraged by their public commitment to cooperate and now ask that they do so, in releasing all relevant material. We understand and fully respect the need to protect journalistic sources and our ACU team have worked with other media companies on that basis. However, to prove or disprove these allegations, we need to see the evidence referred to in the programme.”
Al Jazeera had claimed in the sting operation that Test matches involving India, Sri Lanka, Australia and England were all brought under suspicion of illegal practices. Richardson had stated earlier that there were criminals “swanning around” cricket and that weeding them out is a continuous process.
