Cricket Australia statement on Shane Warne allegation

Cricket Australia today responded to allegations connecting Shane Warne to an Indian gambler during the 1999 World Cup in England.

Cricket Australia Acting Chief Executive Officer David Fouvy said:

"Shane Warne has emphatically denied the reports which have surfaced out of India overnight, and at this stage, Cricket Australia does not consider these current allegations credible to warrant any formal investigation.

"Cricket Australia is fully committed to ensuring cricket remains free from corruption.

"If we are presented with any credible allegations of misconduct against Australian players or officials, these will be fully investigated."
