    Sri Lanka police questions Aravinda de Silva over match-fixing row
  • Former Sri Lankan chief cricket selector Aravinda de Silva was questioned for six hours as criminal investigation for match-fixing began on Tuesday.

    De Silva, who served as the chief selector for the 2011 World Cup, was the first to be interviewed by the newly established sports-related anti-corruption unit.

    Reportedly, batsman Upul Tharanga has now been summoned by the unit.

  • "Today we started the investigation into (2011 World Cup) match fixing allegations. Based on the statement given by Aravinda de Silva today, we have decided to summon a player from the 2011 squad, Upul Tharanga, tomorrow to record his statement," Superintendent Jagath Fonseka told reporters.

  • Fonseka said the organization obtained intelligence reports and inputs from unspecified international sources in order to continue their probe into the 2011 World Cup match-fixing controversy.

    De Silva refrained from commenting after he walked out of the Special Investigation Unit (SIU), where he spent over six hours with at least three detectives.

    Meanwhile, Tharanga will likely be questioned on Wednesday.
