Match-fixers to be named on Monday: Reuters

The names of four Indian players, suspected of match-fixing, may be named on Monday, a senior official attending the International Cricket Council board meeting in Nairobi said on Sunday.

The official, who declined to be identified, did not reveal whether the information would come from the Indian police or from the cricket authorities.

The police in April named four South African players, including former captain Hansie Cronje, as being involved in fixing matches. The others were Herschelle Gibbs, Pieter Strydom and Nicky Boje.

Cronje was sacked as captain shortly after the allegations were made.

South Africa's United Cricket Board (UCB) said last week it was planning to ban him for life.

Gibbs and Strydom were banned from international cricket until the end of the year.

The ICC is expected to focus on corruption in the game, when it begins a two-day meeting in Nairobi on Monday.
