They passed on their concerns to the captain,  Kumar Sangakkara, who followed ICC protocol by contacting the  anti-corruption unit.The player has since been investigated by  Sri Lankan police, although no charges have been laid; officials from  the ICC's anti-corruption unit are said to be dismayed at the lack of  progress. Haroon Lorgat, the ICC's chief executive, has admitted to a  general sense of frustration, saying: "The [anti-corruption unit's]  working is not that of a policing agency or a newspaper. They have no  power to arrest or seize, or carry out a sting operation."<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/sep/05/sri-lanka-player-icc-spotlight" target="_blank">http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/sep/05/sri-lanka-player-icc-spotlight</a></blockquote>
