Cricket: CA head slams fixing claims

Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland says claims made in a London court over Australian match-fixing are "outlandish and made by a person of dubious repute."

On Monday, the player agent at the center of the Pakistan spot-fixing allegations, Mazhar Majeed, named in recordings played in court several high-profile ex-Pakistan internationals as well as unnamed Australians as being involved in corruption.

Sutherland said on Tuesday "these sweeping statements unfairly malign Australian cricketers," but if there was any evidence of wrongdoing, Australian officials would investigate.

However, Sutherland said he would have been made aware by the International Cricket Council if Australians were involved in any match-fixing.
