New Delhi: Karan Gilhotra, against whom the ICC has issued an advisory to the BCCI Secretary asking him to stay away from suspected bookies, yesterday accused the global cricket body of trying to 'malign' Anurag Thakur's image by using him.

Gilhotra is at the centre of a storm after the ICC on Sunday issued an advisory to Thakur, who was seen photographed with the businessman in Chandigarh.
"Why doesn't the media ask the ICC if they have put me on watch list then they obviously have something to share, why don't they share it. Just because they want to malign Mr Thakur and want to use me for that for their own reasons which are best known to them," he told 'NDTV'.
The internal feud within the BCCI on Monday took an ugly turn yesterday with Thakur launching a stinging attack on ICC Chairman N Srinivasan, saying that he should actually share information on bookies with his own family members "whose involvement in betting has been proved".
Thakur on Monday hit back at Srinivasan through an open letter in which he questioned the timing of the "counter offensive" initiated at the behest of the ICC Chairman.
