WATCH- Shreevats Goswami alleges match fixing in CAB first division league match; shares videos

The incidents happened in a match between Mohammedan Sporting and Town Club.

Former Bengal cricketer Shreevats Goswami has alleged that a match in the Cricket Association of Bengal’s (CAB) first-division league looked like it was fixed due to the manner of some batters’ dismissals. He shared the videos of the said instances.

Goswami shared two videos of a match between Mohammedan Sporting and Town Club and the ex-U19 World Cup winner alleged that the Mohammedan Sporting batters were seemingly throwing away their wicket intentionally.

“This is a Super Division match in Kolkata Club Cricket, two big teams doing this, any idea what’s going on here? “I am ashamed to see this having played the game which is so close to my heart. I love cricket and I love playing in Bengal but looking at this breaks my heart. Club cricket is the heart and soul of Bengal cricket please don’t ruin it. I think this is called ‘got up’ cricket. Where is the media now?” Goswami posted on Facebook.

In the first video, a right-handed batter is seen leaving the ball coming straight to his stumps as he walks off the field. In the second video, a left-hander came out of the crease to a wide delivery to be stumped.

Here is the post:

CAB president Snehasish Ganguly said they have sought the umpires’ and observer’s report.

“We have called a tournament committee meeting on March 2 to take up the matter,” Snehasish Ganguly said.
