The England & Wales Cricket Board is investigating claims that a player placed a bet on a county match, although it has refused to name either the player or the match concerned.
"An allegation of betting has been made against a player," said Andrew Walpole, the ECB's media relations officer. "That matter is now in the hands of Gerard Elias, chairman of the disciplinary committee, and it is now up to him to make a decision."
ECB rules state that "no person may bet, whether directly or indirectly, for reward on any match, matches or series of matches, or any aspect of any match, matches, or series of matches". In the wake of cricket's match-fixing scandal, all international players, and all English county players, are required to sign an agreement to that effect. Rule-breakers face a ban of up to five years and an unlimited fine.
