New Delhi, March 16: Former India captain and IPL governing council member Sourav Ganguly has spoken up on the controversy surrounding pacer Mohammed Shami, who is facing allegations of match-fixing by his wife Hasin Jahan.
Amid speculations about the Bengal cricketer's participation in the home-grown Indian Premier League (IPL) and his future with Delhi Daredevils, Ganguly said that the anti-corruption unit of the BCCI is investigating the matter.
"The Anti-Corruption Unit is investigating the matter and will file a report. We will wait for it before taking a call on Shami's participation," IPL governing council member Sourav Ganguly told media persons.
"I believe it was given to Neeraj Kumar for a week so it will be sorted," added the former India captain.
Jahan has alleged that Shami had accepted money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba on the insistence of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai.
Jahan sent the documents related to her complaints against Shami to the BCCI's Committee of Administrators (CoA) chairman Vinod Rai for a probe into her allegations of corruption.
The pacer's career and reputation have taken a bad hit after his wife made some sensational allegations, claiming that he had extra-marital affairs and was involved in domestic violence.
Earlier while talking to a private news channel Shami said he has evidence to prove his innocence.
"I have evidence to prove my innocence. There is no chance of mending things with my wife, and I am not willing to have an out-of-court settlement, will take the legal route," Shami told a news channel.
While talking about Shami's future in IPL a senior Delhi Daredevils' official said, "Look, Daredevils management can't take any unilateral decision in this matter. All players who play in the IPL have a tripartite contract involving the franchise, BCCI and the player. Yes, we are well aware of the sensitive situation and we are having discussions with top BCCI officials. There is a clause about any player bringing disrepute but it is for the lawyers to interpret it."
