Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland has asked news channel Al Jazeera for raw footage of their investigations that uncovered a fixing racket in which even Australian and England players have been accused of being involved.

Al Jazeera rocked the cricketing with the launch of their investigation, wherein they alleged that two Australian players were purposely playing slow against India in Ranchi last year as they were paid to do so.

As a result, James Sutherland has asked for unedited evidence that reveals the name of the Australian players.

"Although not having been provided an opportunity to view the documentary or any raw footage, our long-standing position on these matters is that credible claims will be treated very seriously and fully investigated," Sutherland said in a statement.

"Cricket Australia will continue to fully co-operate with the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit in its review of the matter.”

The statement further continued by mentioning that CA have no tolerance towards fixing of any sort. They, however, don’t have any evidence that links Australian players to the disgraced racket and have urged Al Jazeera to provide them with it should they have it.

"Cricket Australia and the ICC take a zero-tolerance approach against anyone trying to compromise the integrity of the game.

"Neither the ICC or Cricket Australia is aware of any credible evidence linking Australian players to corruption in the game," Sutherland said in a statement.

"We urge Al Jazeera to provide all unedited materials and any other evidence to the ICC investigation team, so, if appropriate, a full and thorough investigation can be conducted."

Interestingly, the match which Al Jazeera mentions ended in a draw, but it has to be noted that the Baggie Green actually intended just for that since it was the ask of the situation. The video also didn’t have a time footage and there was no way for the fixers to be aware of which batsmen would bat at any given time.

Meanwhile, English players have also been accused of taking bribes to fix the Chennai Test against India in 2016. Once again, it was Al Jazeera that made these accusations, who claimed that the fixing concerned three English players over the course of a 10-over spell.

They have not, however, revealed the timing of the 10-over spell due to legal concerns.

The allegation against English player is that they agreed to score fewer runs than what the bookies predicted. The names of the three English players and the two Australian players haven’t been revealed due to legal intricacies.

England Test captain Joe Root, meanwhile, slammed the allegations and labelled them as "outrageous" while also revealing that the insinuations were “ridiculous”.

'I am aware that there is a documentary and it is outrageous that our players have been accused. All the players have been briefed by the ECB, and have been told that there's absolutely nothing to worry about.

"I've been told to strongly deny the allegations. It sounds quite ridiculous really. As a group of players we've got to let the people in charge look after this. It's for the ICC to sort out."
