The Rajasthan Royals player admitted to have taken money from bookies which he later returned after a sting scare in 2012.
June 19 was just another day in South Africa's long list of chokes; yet again, it was that old habit of coming undone in the knock-out stage of an ICC event.
James Sutherland dismissed any suggestion that the broadcaster would have direct input or even influence over selections.

Ishant removed Kumar Sangakkara and Lahiru Thirimanne in his successive overs to put the Lankans in a big spot of bother. June 19 was just another day in South Africa's long list of chokes; yet again, it was that old habit of coming undone in the knock-out stage of an ICC event. 
Jonathan Trott made 82 not out to help England chase down 176 in 37.3 overs at The Oval. England will now either play India or Sri Lanka in the title clash. 
England owed their competitive total of 287 for six to Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler who smashed 64 runs off the last three overs. 
Buttler's 47 not out off just 16 balls was pivotal in setting up England's 34-run win over NZ on Wednesday. 
Ian Bell was pleased to see England seamers Stuart Broad and Steven Finn back bowling in the nets ahead of third ODI against New Zealand.
