New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday suspended the five players who were involved in spot-fixing in IPL, Indian media reported.
The BCCI took the decision in two hours long emergency meeting.
The players suspended are Shalabh Srivastava, TP Sudhindra, Abhinav Bali, Amit Yadav and Mohnish Mishra.

On Monday, a sting operation carried out by India TV showed five domestic-level players, representing various IPL franchises, apparently succumbing to the lure of fixing.
“I fail to understand whatever is being said about spot-fixing. The voice in that telephonic conversation is not mine. It is very easy to frame anyone with a doctored audio clip,” Shalabh Srivastav said.
In the sting, he names a domestic cricketer in Kolkata Knight Riders, who shifted from the Kings XI, and a Pune Warriors player, who shifted from Royal Challengers Bangalore, claiming they were paid in black by franchises.
