A Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official reacted to the match-fixing allegations on IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals in their group-stage match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 19.

Speaking to The Times of India, a BCCI official rejected the claims and announced that they had dissolved the RCA. “We have currently dissolved the RCA. We have formed an ad hoc committee, and with the elections approaching, a lot of drama is unfolding,” the official said. Everyone wants attention.”
The official also reassured that the BCCI has its anti-corruption body keeping a close watch on the proceedings of IPL 24*7. “The BCCI has an anti-corruption unit working 24×7 to keep bad elements away from the game. There is no truth to these allegations,” he added.

The official responded after the Rajasthan Royals wrote a strongly worded letter to the BCCI regarding the RCA ad-hoc committee’s fixing claims.
“The statements made by the convener are without any evidence and serve only to stir unnecessary controversy. They undermine not just the Royals but also Royal Multi Sport Private Limited (RMPL), the Rajasthan Sports Council, the BCCI, and the game of cricket itself,” wrote RR in their letter.
