LONDON: New Zealand Captain Brendon McCullum has revealed that former Kiwi all-rounder Chris Cairns had offered him for spot fixing in Indian Premier League matches.
He was recording his statement to a Southwark Crown Court in London.
McCullum told London’s that Cairns made the request in a hotel room in Kolkata, India, in 2008, during the Indian Premier League.
Cairns, 45, is charged with perjury and perverting the course of justice after saying he had never cheated at cricket during a libel action he won in 2012.
He denies both charges.
In 2010, former all-rounder Cairns was accused by chairman of the Indian Premier League Lalit Modi on Twitter of match-fixing two years earlier.
Cairns, who played 62 Tests from 1989 to 2004, brought a successful libel action against Modi, winning £90,000 damages.
