Nagpur, March 2: The Nagpur police are on the trail of West Indies cricketer Marlon Samuels, who allegedly had links with bookie Mukesh Kochar during the Nagpur ODI in January.

Sources have told NDTV that Samuels had another mobile phone, the SIM card of which was in the name of Vasu Gangwani who was the team manager for the West Indies team in India.

Samuels had used talktime worth Rs 6000 alone in Nagpur. Samuels is included in the West Indies squad playing the World Cup.

Meanwhile, a two-member team of the International Cricket Council on Thursday received tapes of alleged conversation between Samuels and Kochar ahead of the January 21 ODI.

"We have handed over the tapes and transcripts to N S Virk - regional security manager of Anti-Corruption Unit - and his colleague Alan Peacock today," Zonal Deputy Commissioner of Police, Amitesh Kumar said.

Nagpur police which had recorded on January 19 and 20 the conversation between the bookie and the player about the team composition for the match, had alerted the Indian cricket board of alleged violation of ICC's code of conduct in the incident.

A four-member ICC team last month visited the city and held discussion with the top district police officials and had sought copies of the tapes.

The Nagpur police in turn sought permission from Home Ministry and External Affairs ministry for handing over the tapes.
