PADIHAM CC professional Ajay Sharma today denied that he was at the centre of match-fixing allegations.
Police in India have issued a warrant for the arrest of Sharma after discovering a link with Mohammed Azharuddin, who is being widely investigated in the betting scandal.
Reports in the Indian Press said that Sharma had fled the country in disguise. But he signed a contract for Padiham back in February.
And Sharma, who is staying in Burnley at the home of Pankaj Tripathi, said: "If I really had millions in the bank, do you think I would be here in Burnley? I am quite happy to let the Indian police see my bank account."
