    PREVIEW SUMMER OF CRICKET South Africa and Sri Lanka will visit for this summer’s Vodafone Test matches against Australia, and recent history suggests some intense action WORDS BY RICHARD ASHER 12 VODAFONE TEST SERIES Program VODAFONE TEST SERIES Program 13 PREVIEW SUMMER OF CRICKET Senior batsman Mike Hussey was in the runs last summer, making 150 not out in Sydney t’s that time of year again. ’Tis the season to find any excuse to get out of the office and spend a long, lazy day in the sun. It’s the time for amateur selection committees Ito convene around every barbecue in the land. The moment for dusting off the Baggy Green, white kit and red Kookaburra. Test match cricket is back. This summer promises to be a special one, as Australia host South Africa and then Sri Lanka in back-to-back three-match Vodafone Test series. It’s a final home dress rehearsal before the Ashes in 2013, but it’s too early for Australia to think about England just yet. They’ve got the world’s top Test side and some wily subcontinental opposition to worry about first. Australia have had a quiet Test schedule following their memorable 4-0 demolition of India last summer. Their only assignment since then came against the West Indies in the Caribbean, where they overcame a resilient home side 2-0. Michael Clarke’s inspired first- innings declaration when 46 runs behind in the rain-affected Barbados opener set up a memorable win for his team, who went on to take another hard-fought victory in the third Test at Roseau.

INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 11-25 May 2021 INVESTIGATIONS National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF) Suspicion of a match-fixing around PSG-Red Star Belgrade: the investigation closed The National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF) has closed its preliminary investigation into suspicions of rigging of the Champions League match between Paris-SG and the Red Star of Belgrade in October 2018, said Thursday the lawyer of the Serbian club , confirming information from the Team. The PNF informed lawyers of this decision on May 7 in a classification notice. An investigation for “criminal association” with a view to the commission of an offense of sports corruption and with a view to the commission of an offense of fraud in an organized gang was opened after the match. According to The team, which had revealed this investigation, the European football authorities (UEFA) had been alerted before the meeting of October 3, 2018 that a leader of the Red Star was preparing to invest nearly five million euros on a defeat of his team by five goals. However on October 3, 2018, the PSG had beaten the Serbs 6 to 1. “Since the start of the investigation, the Red Star has expressed its wish to collaborate in this investigation and to identify the source of this malicious and anonymous denunciation.“, Me Antoine Vey, lawyer for the Serbian club, told AFP.”It is therefore a satisfaction to note that nothing has made it possible to confirm this false allegation.“ “There remains the question of the damage caused to the club on which we will see if we take legal action or not.“, he added.
