"If it is a private league that approaches ICC for hiring ACU officers and they agree to cover the event, then the league organisers bear the costs," the senior official told PTI. The BCCI might need some more workforce considering that each team will have one dedicated 'Integrity Officer' as per rules. "It is the BCCI that will designate one Integrity officer per team during the course of the IPL. Now whether they will be a part of the bio-bubble (if created), we don't know, but the Integrity officer is completely their domain," a senior franchise official clarified the rules. The UAE does have a history of being a hot bed for bookies and fixers but the ACU head is quite confident that intelligence gathering will not be hampered by this shift of tournament. "Whoever is involved (bookies/fixers) they are all inter-connected. If we have our sources here, they also know how these bookies operate. "If they get an information of this place, they will get an information of that place also. It's not so much of an issue," he said.
