The India pacer got a call and promptly report𒈔ed♔ the matter to ACU officials.
"It wasn't a bookie w🐎ho approached Siraj. It is a driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting on matches. He had lost huge money and approached Siraj f🐭or inside information.
"Siraj reported the approach immediately. The law enforcement authorities have nab💜bed the man. More details are being awaited," a senior BCCI source privy to development told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Since S Sreesanth, Ankit Chavan and Ajit Chandila were arrested on spot fixing charges along with former CSK team princip🅰al Gurunath Meiyappan, the BCCI had beef꧒ed up its ACU work.
Each team has a dedicated ACU official ﷽who stays in the same hotel and is there at the ground monitoring all the movem♔ents.
Also there is mandatory ACU workshop for 𒊎players on dos and don'ts and if any player fail🦹s to report corrupt approach, then there are sanctions in place.
Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Haꦰsan was suspended in 2🅺021 as he didn't report a corrupt approach during his IPL stint in the previous season.
