An Australian player was approached by a man suspected of links to illegal bookmaking during the Ashes series, according to a news report.
The approach was made in the bar of the team's London hotel, the Royal Kensington Garden, after Australia's defeat in the second Test at Lord's, a Cricinfo report said.
The player reported the incident to senior officials and a report was filed by team manager Steve Bernard to the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit in accordance with protocol.
There is no allegation of wrongdoing by the player.
A Cricket Australia spokesman did not wish to comment but an ICC spokesman confirmed to Sportal a report had been filed by Australia team management.
According to the news report, illegal bookmakers or their representatives approached several players from other countries during the ICC World Twenty20 held in England in June.
"One source said the ACSU was 'well advanced' in several lines of inquiry, at least one of which also involved approaches made to players at a team hotel," the report said.
The news comes 11 years after Australian cricket was rocked by a betting scandal involving champion spinner Shane Warne and batsman Mark Waugh.
Cricket was left reeling at the turn of the century by match-fixing scandals involving national captains Hansie Cronje, Salim Malik and Mohammed Azharuddin during the 1990s.
The ICC set up the ACSU in 2000 in a bid to stamp out corruption from the game.
Measures have been taken to make players less accessible to bookmakers.
Players are not allowed mobile phones or internet access in the dressing room during play.
But the advent of Twenty20 cricket and the lucrative sums of money it generates is becoming the game's next threat.
The ACSU did not operate at this year's IPL competition due to a US$1.2 million price tag quoted by the ICC.
An ICC spokesperson told Sportal that with more money being generated by the game the 'temptation for unscrupulous people grows'.
"Twenty20 by its nature is a short game and it takes much less to alter a game," he said. "It can be one over, one ball."
The ICC applauded Australia's swift action, saying it was evidence its player education program was working.
"That's what the protocols are for and they've adhered to it," he said.
"It's a good news story."
"It's an illustration that ACSU policy is a good one."
"This will ensure this issue remains in the forefront of people's minds and emphasise the ongoing need of vigilance. The issue hasn't gone away."
