Two international cricketers involved in Karnataka Premier League (KPL) have come under the scanner of the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Anti-Corruption Unit. Meanwhile, this is the third revelations in two days after news broke out of alleged match-fixing in Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) and a woman cricketer being approached by two individuals.

The BCCI is also simultaneously probing the KPL. Like TNPL, some of the players brought it to the notice of the anti-corruption unit that corrupt practices were taking place in the league. According to reports, two players are being monitored in particular, for their alleged link with bookies.
