Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals' CEO Raghu Iyer said the arrest of three of its cricketers for alleged role in spot-fixing in the ongoing IPL has caused "immense distress" to everyone associated with the franchise. "All of the Rajasthan Royal owners, management, captain, coach and players and staff are shocked and disappointed at the entire situation which has caused immense distress to us all," Iyer said in a statement.

He further stated: "RR has noted statements which have been made today, including by Ajit Chandila's lawyer, Mr.
