Kings XI Punjab on Wednesday said it will take strict action against any of its player found guilty of indulging in spot-fixing even as the BCCI has suspended five uncapped Indian players in the wake of a television sting operation which claimed to have exposed corruption in the IPL.
"Kings XI Punjab believes in fair play and commitment towards the game. We have complete faith in the IPL governing body and BCCI and we abide by their decision," Kings XI management said in a statement.
"Detailed interrogation will take place by the concerned authorities and if any player is found guilty, proper action as warranted will be taken against the individual," it added.
The BCCI on Tuesday suspended Mohnish Mishra, Shalabh Srivastava, T. P. Sudhindra, Amit Yadav and Abhinav Bali with immediate effect pending inquiry after a lengthy tele-conference of its top officials and members of the IPL's Governing Council.
Incidentally, both Shalabh and Amit are signed up with Kings XI but have not played a single match for the franchise this season.
