If you have been following the story about Gulam Bodi and his match-fixing antics you may have thought the investigations were all wrapped up.
It has been a while since we’ve heard anything about the investigation into Thami Tsolekile’s case either, the former Lions ‘keeper being the second player whose name emerged publicly.
Well bad things happen in threes so we can chuck former Proteas quick Lonwabo Tsotsobe’s name into the mix, the left-arm quick confirming he is being investigated by Cricket South Africa. More from Sport24:
The paceman told Wisden India: “There’s a lot of speculation going around. I’m not going to entertain anything but Cricket South Africa can do anything they need to do to check if we did any match-fixing with the people that they are investigating.
“I’ve given them everything they want. My phone bills, my messages, my bank accounts, everything. They said they would get back to me.”
When asked whether he met with any of the bookies, he added: “That we can discuss with Cricket South Africa. If you want to know anything more about what’s going on you can ask them.”
As for his current hiatus from the Lions, for whom he last played in December, he said: “I just feel that there’s a lot that’s going on in my life.
“I’ve spoken to the coach and he’s the one who gave me the time off. I don’t have to explain myself to any other person. If the CEO and the coach know, then I think I’m cool.”
Tsotsobe racked up 89 appearances for the national team, although his last match was back in March of 2014.
The fact that he seems so chilled about it gives us hope that he has nothing to hide. As for Bodi the less said the better, the man deserves to serve time behind bars.
