The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on September 22 issued a statement on allegations of corruption in the recently concluded Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2026. DDCA has falsified these allegations terming them as 'unverified'. DDCA has confirmed that it has written to concerned authorities to examine the issue.
The allegations surfaced in Tehelka's investigative report where a Ranji Trophy cricketer claimed to have done spot-fixing in DPL and had team news before the team sheet was revealed.
"The Delhi and District Cricket Association has taken note of recent reports concerning irregularities involving certain players and a franchise associated with the Delhi Premier League (DPL)," the DDCA said in its statement but chose not to reveal the player or team's name.
"DDCA would like to clarify that the allegations referred to in these reports are unverified and have not been established by any competent authority. The association believes it would be inappropriate to draw conclusions about any individual, player or franchise based solely on such allegations.”
