Indians don't fix, they are not corrupt, their curators are angles, etc. etc. Happy now?
Evidence, do I look like FBI, why not ask BCCI where is the evidence that he was only involved in betting and not fixing; you honestly believe every word that comes out of their mouths? How hard it is for the same guy to move from illegal betting to fixing?

My evidence is just as good as your lawyer skills for BCCI i.e. both of us are an average fan reading about such things in the news, yet you seem to indicate that you know about everything despite having no connection whatsoever with BCCI, Indian team, or pretty much nothing related to Indian cricket!

Question is, how many of these continued playing for India? Azhar and Jadeja were in sublime form when they were banned. Azhar was left stranded one short of a milestone of 100 test matches.
Players tend to fall prey especially young guns. Out of millions and billions, you will find 0.1% players who keep their feelings and emotions aside and fix matches. This is bound to happen in future too.
I appreciate what BCCI did to these players by setting up an example by banning them permanently. Spot-fixing in national or international matches should be treated equally. If one has a tendency to do it in a league match, won't hesitate to do it on a bigger stage.

From Warne scandal to Shakib ban: The curious case of Indian bookies in international cricket
https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cr...-cricket-corruption-fixing-1614487-2019-10-31
Corruption in cricket has been hogging the headlines ever since the much-publicised match-fixing saga hit Indian cricket in the early 2000s. Some of the biggest names in cricket, including Hanse Cronje and Mohammad Azharuddin, lost their reputation for alleged involvement in corruption.
Over the years, several top names in cricket have been banned for involvement in corrupt activities, which range from match-fixing, spot-fixing and failure to report approaches.
The latest high-profile cricketer who has been found guilty of not reporting multiple corrupt approaches is Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. The superstar cricketer was handed a 2-year suspension for not reporting approaches from an Indian bookie, Deepak Aggarwal on at least 3 occasions in the recent past.
Even as money is flowing into professional cricket at a never-seen-before rate, big names are still falling prey to corrupt approaches. The Indian Premier League spot-fixing case in 2012 was a shocker as some of the high-profile stars and team owners were found guilty of corruption.
All the cricket boards across the globe now have an anti-corruption cell. Awareness about approaches are becoming a norm ahead of major tournaments.
However, corruptors are coming up with newer ways to make sure they are always in business. Bookies, according to the ICC, have started organising franchise-based leagues to make sure their business is going well and this recent phenomenon has become a major headache to apex body of world cricket.
While talking about the investigation into wide-spread corruption allegations in Sri Lankan cricket, ICC Anti-Corruption General Manager Alex Marshall had said most of the bookies operating in world cricket are from India.
"In Sri Lanka it was both local and Indian corruptors. In most other parts of the world it is mostly corrupt Indian bookies," Marshall had said.
Mark Waugh, Shane Warne betting scandal
One of the earliest betting scandals that hit the headlines involved two of Australia's biggest superstars -- Shane Warne and Mark Waugh.
The two cricketers were found guilty of taking bribes from Indian bookmakers during Australia's tour of Sri Lanka in 1994. It was also reported that Waugh, Warne and bowler Tim May had claimed that Pakistan cricketer Salim Malik had offered them bribes to throw matches in 1995.
Mohammad Azharuddin and Hanse Cronje fixing scandal
In April 2000, the game was brought to disrepute when Delhi police charged Hansie Cronje of match-fixing during an ODI series in India that year. It was once again an Indian bookie, this time a businessman named Sanjay Chawla who was in touch with Cronje.
After initially denying the charges, Cronje accepted to providing information regarding forecast to the bookie during the ODI series in India. Players like Pat Symcox and Herschelle Gibbs testified before The King Commission that Cronje had asked them to get involved in corrupt activities in the past.
Cronje confessed to taking bribes since 1996 and also accused Mohammad Azharuddin of introducing him to an Indian bookie. Cronje said that the bookie had offered him to throw a Test match during South Africa's tour of India in 1996.
Notably, Manoj Prabhakar, who had accused Kapil Dev of asking him to underperform, was later found guilty of being in touch with Indian bookies along with Ajay Jadeja and Ajay Sharma. All three of them were handed bans.
Chris Cairns and Lou Vincent
New Zealand cricketer Lou Vincent, who reportedly conceded he was involved in match-fixing over a long period of time, alleged that former New captain Chris Cairns had convinced him to fix matches during Indian Cricket League, the now-defunct T20 league.
Danish Kaneria's tryst with an Indian bookie
Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria accepted charges of spot-fixing after years of denial in 2018. He named a bookie of Indian origin Anu Bhat and conceded the bookie had asked him to concede 12 runs in the first over of an English county game in 2009. Notably, the fixing scandal had led to the imprisonment of Kaneria's former Essex team-mate Mervyn Westfield.
Mohammad Ashraful's bookie was an Indian
Mohammad Ashraful was banned for 8 years for his involvement in the Bangladesh Premier League spot-fixing scandal.
Ashraful revealed he had met the bookie who led him to Dhaka Gladiators' CEO Gaurav Rawat an Indian citizen living in Myanmar. Gaurav had owned a team in Sri Lanka Premier League, which was also marred by allegations of corruption. According to media reports, both Gaurav and the unnamed bookie were involved in match-fixing.
Ashraful even admitted that the bookie had asked him to fix matches as early as 2007 during his captaincy tenure with Bangladesh national team.

Bookies for match fixing
Ahead of the T-20 cricket match between India and Pakistan, as part of T-20 World Cup, officials of the Divisional Task Force( DTF) Wing of the Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) conducted raid on an apartment complex at Madhavadhara and arrested a person, who was allegedly involved in organising cricket betting online here on Sunday. The Task Force officials have seized ₹88,000, two mobile phones and a laptop from him.

According to Inspector, DTF, Visakhapatnam, K. Suresh, the accused is a sub-bookie, and kingpin and the main bookie is based in Bengaluru. After receiving instructions from the bookie, Prabhakar conducts betting online, using mobile applications and software.
