A lawyer for the former commissioner of the Indian Premier League has been in New Zealand gathering evidence related to the ongoing match-fixing investigation.
Rajesh Vyakarnam, a sports and media law specialist based in Dubai who acts for former IPL supremo Lalit Modi, visited in the past fortnight.
Mr Modi's involvement in the investigation adds another strand to an already complex web involving the International Cricket Council's anti-corruption unit, the Metropolitan Police and the three Kiwi cricketers under investigation - Lou Vincent, Daryl Tuffey and Chris Cairns.
Vincent recently received 11 life bans for his role in match-fixing in English county cricket's limited overs competitions. Cairns and Tuffey have consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Cairns won a libel case against Mr Modi in the High Court of London in 2010. Mr Modi had made a series of tweets suggesting Cairns' departure from the short-lived Indian Cricket League - he was captain of the Chandigarh Lions - was due to fixing. The official reason was Cairns was removed for failing to disclose an injury.
