The International Cricket Council have launched an "urgent investigation" into match-fixing allegations surrounding the recent T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.

Indian television claimed earlier today that up to six match officials were willing to throw matches at the tournament for financial gain.

The governing body have reacted by asking the broadcaster to supply them with any evidence that they have in order to help them with their investigation.

A short statement read: "The ICC and its relevant members have been made aware of the allegations made by India TV this evening and calls on the station to turnover any information which can assist the ICC's urgent investigations into this matter.

"The ICC re-iterates its zero-tolerance towards corruption whether alleged against players or officials. The ICC confirms that none of the umpires named were involved in any of the official games of the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka."

The West Indies won the tournament yesterday afternoon.
