Jamie Mitchell went public with the allegations in an ABC report on Sunday, stating he believed he had been raped by a team official on a tour of India and Sri Lanka when he was 18.

In a statement, Mitchell said he was relieved the 1985 tour was being investigated.

Mitchell will send a list of questions to the governing body surrounding the tour, including what authorities knew about the team official when he led the tour, if any complaints were made about him, and whether or not he was sacked when he left cricket soon after the alleged incident.

He is also asking if CA can produce medical records from the tour, including what he was injected with by a team doctor on two occasions.

CA told News Corp in a statement the organisation is aware of a police investigation into claims of alleged historical offences occurring on an overseas tour decades ago.

An AFP spokesperson said the organisation does not comment on specific investigations.

Rightside Legal partner Michael Magazanik, whose firm is advising Mitchell, said CA should provide a comprehensive response to his questions before they decide on further legal steps.
