ICC anti-corruption unit general manager Alex Marshall said: "Five international captains have been approached. You are not going to get the names. Four of them are from full member countries and one from a non-full member country."
"Corruption happens in every single cricket playing country. Most of the bookies are based in one area. The corruptors are mostly Indian bookies. But the corruption happens everywhere," he added.
