HYDERABAD: Mohammed Azharuddin’s 12-page statement to cricket Board’s watchdog K Madhavan was the subject of considerable speculation on Friday, with authoritative sources saying that he had confirmed certain parts of the CBI report on betting and match-fixing.
However, the former India captain had, at the same time, refuted certain contents of the CBI report which had painted him as a key figure in the scandal.
The sources denied reports that Azhar had termed the entire match-fixing scandal as a conspiracy against him by some former teammates.Madhavan, a former CBI Joint Director who questioned Azhar for six hours, left thereafter for Delhi where he will question former Delhi captain Ajay Sharma on Saturday..
