A Kenyan player is being investigated by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on suspicion of fixing in two international games, one of which was at last year's World Cup, the country's cricket boss said yesterday. Cricket Kenya chief executive Tom Sears said that the player, who he would not name, has not been suspended but is under investigation by the ICC. Sears indicated that the World Cup game in question was Kenya's heavy 205-run loss to Pakistan in Hambantota, Sri Lanka, last February, where Kenya were bowled out for 112 after Pakistan made 317-7. Kenya's bowlers conceded 46 extras in the game, including 37 wides. Speaking by telephone from Kenya, Sears said the player, who is not part of Kenya's current squad, was also suspected of "tampering" with another international involving two other countries. He did not give any details of that game."There are a couple of instances, one involving a match in which a player played and one where he didn't. If you look at what we can afford to pay our players compared to full members [of the ICC], maybe we're more susceptible," he said
