Mr Modi is likely seeking redress for that verdict, either through a setting aside of the libel trial, or through civil proceedings essentially challenging the outcome of the 2010 trial.
Mr Vyakarnam said he could not comment on the aim of his visit, "save as to say proceedings are not imminent", nor even a certainty to happen. "Mr Modi is monitoring matters, and will allow any ongoing investigations [to] run their full course."
The ICC confirmed that Vincent, Cairns and Tuffey were under investigation last December. While Vincent's sorry tale was concluded this month after he admitted fixing matches across three continents and many competitions, offering anti-corruption officers their richest source of information to date, the fate of Cairns and Tuffey remains unknown.
Cairns was interviewed by Met Police in New Zealand and flew to London in May for further interviews. On his return, a defiant Cairns lashed out at his accusers, including Vincent and his ex-wife Elly Riley, and New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum, accusing them of "despicable lies".
"Each and every allegation against me, that I have cheated at cricket or attempted to induce others to cheat at cricket, is false," Cairns said.
The Met Police have concluded their investigation, which has been handed to the Crown Prosecution Service. They are expected to decide by September whether Cairns will face charges.
The ICC and ECB anti-corruption units have indicated they will not do anything until the Met Police investigation has been resolved.
