BusinessDay: Report suggests that Indian police are planning to reopen the match-fixing scandal case involving former South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje, ndian police are expected to reopen the match-fixing scandal case involving former South Afric an cricket captain Hansie Cronje, according to a report in the Indian media. This is because Delhi police are still awaiting a forensic laboratory report on match fixing, which Cronje admitted to in 2000, the Indian Express online reported earlier this month. "It was in 2009 that we had sent the voice samples of conversations between the accused - Hansie Cronje and London-based bookie Sanjeev Chawla - to the forensic laboratory for examination. Till now we are yet to receive the report," a senior police officer reportedly said. The laboratory will be contacted to expedite the tests and a crime branch of the Indian police force will examine the case files next week. The match-fixing charges also implicated India’s ex-skipper Mohammad Azharuddin. The decision to reopen the investigation comes after three Pakistani players - Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir — were sentenced to jail for spot fixing by a British court. Cronje admitted to taking money from bookmakers but denied fixing any matches. He died in a plane crash in 2002. Source: BusinessDay
