USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy has been banned from all cricket for eight years after breaching the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.
The ICC found Reddy guilty of multiple corruption-related offences linked to the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, resulting in the lengthy suspension.
The ban prevents Reddy from participating in any cricket activity, domestically or internationally, until the suspension period ends.
The ICC reaffirmed its commitment to protecting cricket's integrity by taking strict action against corruption and match-fixing.
The case serves as a reminder that corruption violations can lead to severe penalties and permanently damage a player's reputation.
