I've done my job, says Prabhakar

By Our Staff Correspondent

BHOPAL, MAY 28. Former Test cricketer, Manoj Prabhakar, today said he had done his job of exposing the match-fixing racket that has plagued Indian cricket for several years saying he was only trying to cleanse the system and not target any individual.

Later in an exclusive chat with The Hindu, he said that after having failed to clean the system from within, he was now trying to do it from outside.

Asked why he had remained silent for so many years, he said he had always shared the information he had regarding match- fixing with those responsible for managing the Indian cricket scene at all levels but nothing had come of it. He, however, hoped something concrete would now come out of the ongoing CBI probe.Prabhakar said he had taken up this crusade for the cause of the nation.
