NEW DELHI: Nearly 20 years after world cricket's first major match-fixing scandal roiled the "gentleman's game", Sanjeev Chawla, a bookie and key accused, has been extradited and brought to India. 

This marks the first high-profile extradition of its kind under the India-UK Extradition Treaty, signed in 1992.

Chawla is wanted in India to face charges of match-fixing during South Africa’s tour in 2000.

DUBAI: If India is the financial hub of world cricket; it is also at the centre of illegal betting around the game.  After banning Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan from all forms of cricket for two years (one year suspended), the International Cricket Council (ICC) has released details of the cricketer's conversation with Indian bookie Deepak Aggarwal.
