Indian police have launched a probe following claims of match fixing in women’s cricket.
Police have registered a case against two bookies following allegations of them having approached a cricketer from the women's national team and propositioning her to fix matches.
The alleged incident took place in February before the start of a limited-overs series against England.
The two bookies accused of cheating and gambling have been identified as Rakesh Bafna and Jitendra Kothari.
The two men approached the female cricketer pretending to be sports managers, she later recorded the phone call she had with Mr Bafna, which she reported to the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
Speaking on the reports of attempted match fixing, Ajit Singh Shekhawat, a BCCI official, said: "People involved in betting just need any cricket match. For them, it does not matter at what level it is being played."
India's sports betting industry is among the world's largest, with reports suggesting more than $190m worth of bets are placed on any given one-day international match involving the Indian national cricket team.
