Essex County Cricket Club players Danish Kaneria and Mervyn Westfield have been arrested in connection with a police investigation into spot-fixing.
The pair attended an Essex police station at the end of last week and were questioned before being released on bail.
It is understood the match in question was a Pro40 win against Durham last September.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "Two men from Chelmsford have been arrested in connection with a police investigation into first class domestic cricket match irregularities.
"The investigation began in March 2010 following allegations received about two Essex County Cricket players.
"On Friday May 14, two men aged 22 and 29 were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and both were released on police bail until September 15 pending further inquiries."
Spot-fixing is a practice whereby money is placed on individual details in a match.
