Mumbai don met Watson
Melbourne, Aug. 31: Australian cricketer Shane Watson on Tuesday said he was approached by a suspected Mumbai gangster, linked with bookmakers in India, during the tour of England last year.
Watson’s revelation came after the Sydney Morning Herald reported that the all-rounder was approached in the bar of the team’s West London hotel, the Royal Kensington Garden, after the Lord’s Test, while wicketkeeper Haddin was confronted during the World Twenty20 tournament last year.
“Both players had immediately reported the approaches to the authorities and neither is suspected of any wrongdoing,” the newspaper said.
Watson said he was approached twice by the illegal bookmaker and he had reported the matter to Australian team management.
