HYDERABAD, JUNE 15: Mohammed Azharuddin said he was “innocent and ready to face any inquiry”.

Reacting sharply to deposed South African skipper Hansie Cronje’s allegation that he was introduced to a bookie by Azharuddin, the former Indian skipper told UNI over telephone from his nearby farmhouse, that it was a retaliation and a counter attack, preplanned after a careful thought by the South African cricket authorities.

“It’s all rubbish. Cronje has no credibilty left with him. I don’t know the person (bookie) he is talking about,” Azhar said when contacted for his reaction to the sensational allegation by made by Cronje during his deposition before the King’s commission, instituted by the South African government.

“I am innocent and ready for any inquiry initiated by the BCCI in this matter. He (Cronje) contradicts himself every day,” he added.

“I will be going to Delhi tomorrow and will tell the concerned authorities whatever I want to say,” he added.
