Boje denied match-fixing but Gibbs admitted taking money

The duo were accused of involvement in match-fixing, along with then-captain Hansie Cronje, in a series in 2000.

Gibbs admitted accepting �10,000 to under-perform but Boje has denied being approached to fix matches.

"We don't anticipate problems, but we would just like it to be cleared up," a South African spokesman told BBC Sport.

"We spoke to the Indian board at the end of March and they said they would talk to legal authorities but we have not heard back.

"They didn't think there would be a problem but we would like a bit more in the way of concrete answers from the relevant authorities - either a confirmation letter from the Indian board or contact from the police.

It's too early to give any guarantees that no police action will be taken Delhi police chief K K Paul

"We haven't had that yet, but I would think it would be resolved in time."

India cricket chief Jagmohan Dalmiya said on Tuesday however that no such guarantees could be currently offered to the South African pair.

"How can we assure the South African board regarding police matters?" Dalmiya admitted.

The tour, scheduled for November, is South Africa's first to India since the controversial trip in 2000.

Then, Cronje, Gibbs, Boje and batsman Pieter Strydom were charged with "cheating, fraud and criminal conspiracy relating to match fixing and betting".

Delhi police have maintained they would like to interrogate Gibbs and Boje if they get the chance.

Fixture delay

Commissioner K K Paul, who investigated the match-fixing scandal, confirmed the cases against Gibbs and Boje had not been closed.

"The case is obviously open," Paul said. "But it's too early to give any guarantees that no police action will be taken, especially because no one has bothered to get in touch with us."

Gibbs was later fined �5,800 and suspended from international cricket for six months for accepting money from Cronje before a one-day match in Nagpur.

However, he claimed he forgot to get out cheaply once he had begun batting.

Cronje, who was banned for life after admitting his involvement in match-fixing, died in a plane crash in 2002.

The Indian cricket board has yet to confirm the itinerary but are expected to schedule seven one-day internationals and no Tests.

This would be a contravention of the International Cricket Council rule that requires a minimum of two Test matches, although they could be played at a later date.
