Durban: Herschelle Gibbs is determined to travel to India for the ICC Champions Trophy accompanied by his lawyer, given the possibility of Indian police interrogating him for the match fixing scandal in 2000.

“Yeah, I am going to go (to India),” he was quoted as saying in an interview to a magazine. “But my lawyer’s coming with me. I have put forward a proposal to Cricket South Africa, which was discussed on Thursday. I have proposed that my lawyer and I will travel with the team, and once we get to the hotel, they can then do the questioning at the hotel,” Gibbs said.

Gibbs said he was confident of clearing his name and blamed the New Delhi police for not playing their part. “They haven’t really played their part. You know, we’ve asked them many a time to come question me on neutral territory, and they refuse. So it’s not like I haven’t made the effort. It’s them being hard-a****. That’s it.”

“I have got the 18 questions that they want to ask me. It’s basically exactly the same stuff that I answered at the King commission. I’ll just be repeating myself.”

Gibbs said he thinks that compatriot Boje’s case was bit different.
