The Australian Broadcasting Corp said the ACB named the players as Shane Warne and Mark Waugh.

The ACB said it would hold a news conference on the matter tomorrow, at which the players involved would be present.

The incident took place during the 1994 tour of Pakistan, when they took money for providing information to an Indian bookmaker.

It was the first time the ACB had revealed two players were fined 2,500 Australian dollars (US $1,550 each) during the 1994 tour of the sub-continent.

The domestic news agency Australian Associated Press quoted former Test player and now commentator David Hookes as saying Waugh and Warne had provided the bookie with information about the weather and ground conditions during the Test matches on the tour of Pakistan in exchange for money.

The revelations are sure to be of interestthroughout the cricket world, particularly in Pakistan where an official inquiry has been held into charges of bribery against players.

Australia's 1994 tour of Pakistan has become notorious for charges of match-fixing and bribery levelled against then Pakistani captain Salim Malik.

Waugh, Warne and former player Tim May had accused Malik of attempting to bribe them. Malik has protested his innocence.

Justice Malik Mohammad Qayyum is due to submit his report on the match-fixing scandal to Pakistan president Mohammad Rafiq Tarar in the next fortnight.

Waugh, Warne and May were unavailable for comment Tuesday night.

The ACB refused to comment further.
