South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs will meet India police in Delhi on Thursday to answer questions on match-fixing allegations from 2000. | |
Gibbs, was greeted by a media frenzy when he flew in to Mumbai on Wednesday before being whisked to the team hotel. | |
He is expected to rejoin the team in time for their Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand on Monday. | |
"He's always been prepared to be forthcoming with the Indian police," said captain Graeme Smith. | |
"He's looking forward to playing cricket in India and we're looking forward to having him. | |
"He will join us and hopefully be ready for the 16th when we can fire away against New Zealand." | |
Gibbs, 32, was accompanied by lawyers as he arrived four days after the rest of the South African squad for his first trip to India since the controversial tour six years ago. | |
He was fined and suspended for six months by the South African board after admitting he agreed to under-perform in a one-day international on the trip in exchange for money. | |
The offer was relayed to him by the then South Africa skipper Hansie Cronje, who was subsequently banned from cricket for life. | The offer was relayed to him by the then South Africa skipper Hansie Cronje, who was subsequently banned from cricket for life. |
