Melbourne: Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has urged former captain Ricky Ponting and Nathan Bracken to quickly get their names cleared after bookie Mazhar Majeed claimed he had access to both of them.
Majeed, a players` agent who was caught in a sting operation for orgainising corruption in cricket matches, has claimed that he knew several international players, including Ponting and Bracken, and that the Australians were “the biggest” offenders of match-fixing.
The allegations have led to angry reactions from Australian players with Bracken and Ponting bluntly denying Majeed`s claim.
Watson also termed Majeed`s claim as “shocking, disappointing and damaging”.
