Qatari news channel Al Jazeera was urged to hand over evidence of alleged match-fixing on Monday after a TV documentary claimed to uncover corruption at the highest levels of world cricket. Slamming the allegations of spot-fixing, England's coach and captain called the incident as "outrageous". On the other hand, Cricket Australia said it wasn't aware of any "credible evidence" after Sunday's broadcast. But Sri Lanka has suspended a player and a groundsman over a suspected pitch-tampering plot in Galle.
The documentary also claims to reveal spot-fixing -- rigging elements of play for betting purposes -- in Test matches between India and England at Chennai in December 2016, and India and Australia at Ranchi in March 2017.
Cricket has endured several corruption scandals over the years, including a 2010 newspaper sting which left three Pakistan players in jail over spot-fixing during a Test against England.
