ECB sources have confirmed to PakPassion.net that they were misquoted by the Mail on Sunday in the newspaper's cricket corruption article centred on the recently concluded one day international series between West Indies and Pakistan in the Caribbean.

ECB sources have confirmed to PakPassion.net that they were misquoted by the Mail on Sunday in the newspaper's cricket corruption article centred on the recently concluded one day international series between West Indies and Pakistan in the Caribbean.
The Mail on Sunday has alleged that the second One Day International, which saw Pakistan fail to score a run off the bat in the first five overs after being set 233 to win, will be investigated by the ACSU. In addition the newspaper alleges that the fifth ODI, which saw Pakistan win by four wickets off the final ball of the match, is also to be scrutinised. ACSU officers according to the Mail on Sunday will also allegedly analyse patterns on spread-betting sites around the first 18 balls of the West Indies innings when only one run was scored.
The newspaper within their article quoted the ECB information manager Chris Watts who is responsible for anti-corruption in domestic cricket in England as saying 'If I was presented with this level of information, I would want this series investigated. There are some classic signs [of wrong doing].'
However an ECB official speaking with PakPassion.net confirmed that the Mail on Sunday had in fact misquoted Chris Watts in their article and the quotes attributed to Watts were not a true representation of what he had actually said to the newspaper.
A PCB official in response to the allegations was quoted as saying "The PCB is obviously extremely concerned at the recent allegations of fixing reported in the media with regard to recently concluded ODI series between Pakistan and West Indies. The PCB is in contact with the ICC on this issue and understands that the ICC will be issuing a media release soon. The PCB, at the moment, is examining all legal aspects but for the time being will not be making any further comments."
