'Reputation of Indian cricket not hit'

NEW DELHI: Indian skipper MS Dhoni asserted on Thursday that he will not talk about the IPL spot-fixing scandal in media.

At a press conference in Birmingham ahead of the Champions Trophy, Dhoni, who leads Chennai Super Kings, was bombarded with a volley of uncomfortable questions on IPL spot-fixing.

"Right now we are concentrating on Champions Trophy as this is a very important tournament for us. Please do not ask any questions related to the IPL fixing. We will answer the questions only when the time is right. This particular scandal is not going to tarnish the image of India or cricket," said Dhoni.

"I just want to keep aside from the whole issue now," said Dhoni.

Dhoni also added that Indian cricket's reputation has not been tarnished and he is hopeful of India's good show in the upcoming tournament.

The skipper mentioned that IPL cannot be blamed if his team does not perform well in the Champions Trophy.
