Brendan Taylor

MUMBAI: Former Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor claimed on Monday he was approached by bookies in India to get involved in spot-fixing and was later blackmailed by them with threats of leaking a cocaine snorting video. 

Even as he is set to face a ban as per the anti-corruption code because of the four-month time he took to inform the ICC about the approach, Taylor on Monday took to Twitter to assert that even though the incident left him in a ‘dark place’, he did not get involved in any form of match-fixing.
