Match Fixing: I am in a bizarre and scary situation, claims Cairns

"Mr McCullum first made his allegation to the ICC's ACSU on February 17, 2011. Not only was this nearly three years after the alleged approach, but importantly 13 months before the trial in March, 2012, of my case in the London High Court against Lalit Modi about match fixing," he asserted referring to the defamation he filed against the former IPL commissioner.
     
Cairns claimed that allegations against him have already been proven false in the court of law.
     
"At that trial, every allegation that I was match fixing was shown to be false. It is extraordinary that Mr McCullum told the ACSU in February, 2011, that three years previously I approached him to match-fix, yet neither he nor the ASCU corruption officer who took his statement, Mr John Rose, took that information to the ICC or informed Mr Modi or anyone else of this startling revelation," he said.
     
Cairns said Fleming, Vettori and Mills have not taken his name in any of their statements.
