Last week, three men were arrested by Mumbai police from the same hotel where the Australian team was put up during the February 21 Group A league match leading to claims the match was fixed.
Lorgat, singling out a report in the Times of India, called for a retraction and said it was false of the reporter to claim the ICC suggested the match was corrupted.
He called the claims fictional adding: We do not comment on the activities of the ICCs Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) and for good reason. However, after several misleading and downright false stories appearing in recent weeks it is time for us to show our displeasure and expose those responsible for affecting the integrity of the media.
