Ex-England cricketer Paul Nixon has revealed that he was once offered "millions of pounds" to throw a Twenty20 match in England.
The former wicketkeeper's claim comes after Pakistan cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif were found guilty of corruption charges, while teen bowler Mohammad Amir was also convicted after pleading guilty to the same charges in September.
"I was offered enormous money, millions of pounds, to fix a Twenty20 game in England," the Daily Mail quotes Nixon as saying.
"I had to speak to the anti-corruption guys and they then went to work but people have to be caught doing it and that's tough.
"This has all done terrible damage to the game."
Nixon retired from Leicestershire at the end of last season.
