- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,July 24 2018]
Australia's star allrounder Glen Maxwell has been indirectly accused of spot fixing during the 2017 Ranchi match against India in which he incidently scored a century. In its documentary the channel has stated that one Aneel Munawar belonging to the Dawood Ibrahim gang had spoken to two Australian players and the blurred image is of Maxwell. It has also been alleged. It has also alleged that three England players were involved in fixing in the 2016 Chennai test.
Glen Maxwell has expressed shock stating I was shocked. I was a bit hurt by it as well,” Maxwell said. “To have these allegations about your involvement in a game where you've only got happy memories about it, great memories...I still remember the feeling after hugging Steve Smith after getting my maiden Test hundred. To have that tarnished by these allegations was pretty devastating and obviously there's absolutely no truth to it whatsoever. It was 100% unfair, to tarnish one of the best moments of my career was pretty brutal.
Maxi as he is known has added The only thing they could have done worse was tarnish that (2015) World Cup win. They're two of the best moments of my career. To say I'd done anything untoward in that game, when I'd just finally got back in the Test side - I'd worked my absolute backside off - to say I'd do anything to ruin that would be absolutely ridiculous.
Glen Maxwell has said with finality that even during his IPL stint leading Kings Eleven Punjab he had immediately called on the authorities whenever something was amiss and that he would never compromise the game for anything.
