Condon wants to talk to Stewart
Sir Paul Condon has revealed that his Anti-Corruption Unit is "frustrated" that Alec Stewart has repeatedly failed to meet them for an interview regarding allegations in the Indian Criminal Bureau of Investigation report.
Condon's statement said: "Negotiations have been conducted primarily through Mr Stewart's lawyer and the ACU is becoming increasingly frustrated by the inability of Mr Stewart and his advisers to agree a convenient date.
"The ACU remain determined to meet Mr Stewart in the near future."
ECB chairman Lord MacLaurin, who is attending a meeting at Lord's this weekend to discuss the report, has backed Stewart since he was first named in an official Indian corruption report last November.
The report claimed Stewart received £5,000 from an Indian bookmaker Mukesh Gupta for supplying information during England's 1993 tour of India.
But it was also admitted by the bookie that Stewart "had refused to fix matches".
Stewart was interviewed briefly by Condon early in January but there has been no meeting since.
The stand-in England skipper claims he may have met Gupta socially on tour but strenuously denies accepting money from him.
