Petersen confirms approaches

JOHANNESBURG: Alviro Petersen has become the first South African player to confirm that he had reported fixing approaches in the country’s domestic T20 competition, but has denied any involvement.

His series of tweets were in response to an article on Wisden India , which said Petersen was being investigated. They come after Gulam Bodi was banned for 20 years in January after admitting to contriving or attempting to fix matches during the 2015 Ram Slam T20 series.

“I have seen some media reports about the match-fixing scandal and my name was thrown around... herewith some facts about Bodigate,” Petersen posted.
