In the wake of the Sri Lanka pitch-fixing allegationsthat has come to light after a TV sting operation by the news channel Al Jazeera, former Sri Lanka skipper Arjuna Ranatunga on Wednesday said corruption "goes right to the top" in Sri Lanka after the documentary alleged that a Sri Lankan player and groundsman were involved in a pitch-tampering plot. Ranatunga further accused the International Cricket Council (ICC) of undermining the game by failing to tackle match-fixing. Ranatunga, who is now a government minister, said cricket corruption in Sri Lanka went far beyond the claims made in the documentary.
Ranatunga said the allegations must be investigated, "but this must have been happening for a long time".
"This is something that goes right to the top (in Sri Lanka). What they will catch is the small fish. As usual the bigger fish will get away," he said.
