Al Jazeera maintains they are in discussions with Interpol and while they are open to giving the details of the cricket-corruption sting to ICC, they are increasingly concerned about “ICC’s ability and resolve to police” the game. How many players, international and others, has the ICC found guilty of match-fixing or spot-fixing in the last five years? The subsequent documentary, broadcast this month, addresses the concerns in some quarters that Munawar might have been idly boasting to Al Jazeera’s investigators. Almost immediately, the Australian and English cricket boards dismissed the allegations and ICC just issued a template statement that they would investigate. Even as they question the apathy showed by many media outlets, Al Jazeera targeted the BBC in particular alleging to have scuttled a similar investigation on Munawar by its investigative show Panorama.
