Corruption in the Fast Lane: Reddy's Eight Year Ban Exposes Cricket's Dark Underbelly The International Cricket Council (ICC) has imposed an eight year ban on USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy for corruption, a punishment that underscores the organization's commitment to cleaning up cricket.
The severity of the penalty is a testament to the ICC's efforts to tackle corruption within the sport. Reddy was found guilty of attempting to influence the outcome of matches during the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament.
He approached a teammate and asked him to "give runs" while bowling, allegedly on instructions from team management.
