Aus-tralian cricketer Shane Watson on Tuesday said he was approached by a suspected Mumbai gangster, linked with bookmakers in India, during the tour of England in 2009.
His revelation came after the Sydney Morning Herald reported that he was approached in the bar of the team’s West London hotel after the Lord’s Test while wicketkeeper Haddin was confronted during the World Twenty20 in 2009. “Both players had reported the approaches to the authorities and neither is suspected of any wrongdoing,” the newspaper said.
