Claims that New Zealand cricketers are involved in match-fixing are baseless, New Zealand cricket chief executive David White says.

An undercover sting by Britain’s Sunday Times revealed claims by Indian bookmakers that English county games and international matches, including the Indian Premier League (IPL), are being fixed.

The bookies say players from all the main cricketing nations, including New Zealand, are involved.

White says allegations New Zealand players offered to meet bookmakers had no credibility.

“The sources are not credible and the accusations are unsubstantiated making them irresponsible, damaging and untrue,” White said in a statement.

“The integrity and reputation of the game is paramount and NZC have absolute confidence that our players share these ideals.”

NZC had “complete confidence” the claims had no credibility, White said. NZC had been in touch with the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit, which would follow up on the matter.

In a secretly filmed meeting, influential Indian bookmaker Vicky Seth claimed he had paid at least two New Zealand players to cheat, the New Zealand Herald reports.

The Sunday Times did not name the players.

“At the moment we’ve got connections with New Zealanders. I did some fixing with [a player] and [another player] back in 2010,” he said.

“I met them direct in Delhi. [One] is still working with us. After that we got some Pakistani players.”

Another bookmaker claimed he had recently turned down an offer to “strike a deal with some New Zealanders”.

Match-fixing batsmen could receive STG44,000 ($A65,750) for slow scoring, while a bowler could receive STG50,000 to concede runs, the Sunday Times reported.

A player or official who could guarantee the outcome of a match could receive up to STG750,000.

A spokesman for the ICC told the Sunday Times the allegations would be investigated.

New Zealand Cricket Players’ Association head Heath Mills told the New Zealand Herald the players needed to be named publicly before any action was taken.

“I don’t believe anyone I work with is or has ever been involved … I would be highly surprised and bitterly disappointed if that was the case,” he said.
