BCCI investigates match-fixing allegations in state T20 leagues
Summary

The BCCI's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit has launched an investigation into state-run T20 leagues over match-fixing allegations. This action follows reports of players, team owners, and managers being approached by bookies. The crackdown, which includes monitoring players' interactions with outsiders during the leagues, is a shift as the ACSU previously focused mainly on international matches and the IPL. Recent incidents, including multiple players caught using smartphones in restricted areas, prompted this broader scrutiny. BCCI officials have emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the game and will pursue any violations rigorously.
