Tainted batsman Abhijit Kale, who is accused of offering money to two Board of Control for Cricket in India selectors to gain a place in the India 'A' team, appeared before the Maharashtra Cricket Association's three-member inquiry committee on Saturday.

After a two-hour hearing, Kale told reporters he is "totally innocent" and denied the allegations.

"I have nothing to do with these allegations. I will seek legal opinion over the matter," Kale said after deposing before the committee.

Asked whether he has been made a scapegoat by the BCCI, Kale replied, "I am going to seek legal opinion so I can't say anything without consulting my lawyer."

National selectors Pranab Roy (East Zone) and Kiran More (West Zone) have alleged that Kale offered them Rs one million each to be selected in the India 'A' team.

The BCCI, on Friday, suspended Kale, a prolific scorer in the domestic circuit, pending an inquiry into the allegations by Bar Council of India chairman D V Subba Rao.

The Commissioner has been asked to submit his report to the BCCI within 15 days.
