Mid Nineties... and probably India was involved.
After all,the Indian cricket board is the richest in the world- we are the ones who are this crazy about cricket. Very plausible that some stinking-rich, cricket-mad Indian 'fans' had a role in the first 'match Fixing' attempts

Thhough match fixing was going on years together in other sports, the incident of match fixing in cricket came to light
only in 2000.
In 2000 the Delhi police intercepted a conversation between a blacklisted bookie and the South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje in which they learnt that Cronje accepted money to throw matches. The South African government refused to allow any of its players to face the Indian investigation unit, which opened up a can of worms. A court of inquiry was set up and Cronje admitted to throwing matches. He was immediately banned from all cricket. He also named Salim Malik (Pakistan), Mohammed Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja (India). They too were banned from all cricket. As a kingpin, Cronje exposed the dark side of betting, however with his untimely death in 2002 most of his sources also have escaped law enforcement agencies. Two South African cricketers, Herschelle Gibbs and Nicky Boje, are also wanted by the Delhi police for their role in the match fixing saga. A few years before in 1998, Australian legends Mark Waugh and Shane Warne were fined for revealing information about the 'weather' to a bookmaker.

It's early 90's and most of the match fixing involves the great Indians....If any team visiting India are subject to be approached by the bookies.
