The ICC's An­ti-cor­rup­tion and Se­cu­ri­ty Unit is un­der­stood to have found no cor­rob­o­rat­ing ev­i­dence against the three in­ter­na­tion­al crick­eters in­clud­ing T&T's Dwayne Bra­vo, who had been ac­cused by for­mer IPL chair­man Lalit Mo­di of hav­ing re­ceived af­flu­ent gifts, in cash and kind, from an In­di­an busi­ness­man.

The ICC has not of­fi­cial­ly com­ment­ed on the AC­SU's in­ves­ti­ga­tion but it was al­lud­ed to by the BC­CI yes­ter­day, which said it had not re­ceived any in­for­ma­tion from the ICC and hence be­lieved the play­ers had been giv­en a clean sheet.

"The fol­low-up is there is noth­ing in that," BC­CI sec­re­tary Anurag Thakur said at a press con­fer­ence. "If they had found some­thing, they would have re­port­ed it back to us. If there is noth­ing from the ICC on it, it has to be a clean chit."

Mo­di, in a let­ter to ICC chief ex­ec­u­tive David Richard­son in Oc­to­ber 2013, had said he had been in­formed that the three crick­eters - Suresh Raina, Ravin­dra Jade­ja and Dwayne Bra­vo - had re­ceived hous­es and cash from a re­al es­tate baron, who is an al­leged book­ie.

While con­firm­ing Mo­di's let­ter on Sun­day, an ICC spokesper­son had stat­ed "stan­dard op­er­at­ing pro­ce­dures" had been fol­lowed, in­clud­ing in­form­ing the BC­CI's AC­SU. The pro­ce­dure in­volved the ICC car­ry­ing out an in­ves­ti­ga­tion and ar­riv­ing at a con­clu­sion as to whether charges could or could not be laid against the play­ers in­volved. The home boards of the three play­ers men­tioned in the Mo­di let­ter would have been in­formed as to the de­tails of the in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

"The ju­ris­dic­tion of the three play­ers was un­der the ICC be­cause they are in­ter­na­tion­al play­ers. And if they have con­duct­ed an in­quiry, they will be able to say some­thing on the out­come of the ICC in­quiry," Thakur said.

All the three play­ers named have been key mem­bers of the Chen­nai Su­per Kings, the fran­chise that is owned In­dia Ce­ments, which in turn is owned by the fam­i­ly of for­mer BC­CI pres­i­dent N Srini­vasan. Dur­ing the 2013 IPL cor­rup­tion scan­dal, Srini­vasan's son-in-law Gu­runath Meiyap­pan was ar­rest­ed for bet­ting on IPL games. While the team has been un­der Supreme Court in­ves­ti­ga­tion since then, Srini­vasan has tak­en over as the ICC chair­man.
