The International Cricter Council (ICC) has today dismissed
reports linking it to any invertigation
into alleged attempts by any player to “cheat” the effectiveness of the Hot
Spot technology during the current Ashes
series between England and Australia.
An Australian television station alleged that ICC General
Manager Cricket, Geoff Allardice
was flying from ICC headquarters in
Dubai to Durban , the venue of the fourth Ashes Test, to investigate the
matter.
However, David Richardson, the ICC Chief Executive, said
today, “These media reports are totally incorrect. Geof Allardice is meeting
with both teams and umpires to see how we can best use the DRS and the
available technology going forward in the next two Test matches. It has nothing
to do with any players.”
