Dubai, Aug 19 - International Cricket Council (ICC) Wednesday confirmed that its Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has received a report from the Australian team management on a man, suspected of links to illegal bookmaking, approaching one of their players.

'There is no evidence of any illegal activity as a result of this approach, which took place following the second Test at Lord's in July, and the ICC would like to place on record its praise for the player approached and the Australia team management for reporting the issue,' ICC said in a statement.

'Approaches to players do happen and it would be naive to assume otherwise. If they did not, then there would be no need for the continuing existence of the ACSU.'

ICC said there is no indication that any matches in the current Ashes series or the ICC World Twenty20 2009 have been affected by corruption in any way.
