An ICC Anti-Corruption Tribunal has banned American cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy for eight years after finding him guilty of match-fixing charges related to the Abu Dhabi T10 2025 tournament.
The International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Tribunal has imposed an eight-year suspension on USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy following his conviction on multiple breaches of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code. The sanctions are connected to alleged misconduct during the Abu Dhabi T10 2025 tournament held in the United Arab Emirates, where the ICC acted as the designated anti-corruption authority at the request of the Emirates Cricket Board.
Reddy was found guilty of three separate offences under the Code. These include attempting to improperly influence match outcomes or being party to agreements to manipulate results, soliciting and encouraging other participants to commit similar violations, and obstructing the anti-corruption investigation by deleting data and messages from his mobile device that could have been relevant to the inquiry.
The eight-year ban was backdated to November 21, 2025, the date when Reddy was initially placed under provisional suspension. This means the restriction from all cricket-related activities took effect from that earlier date. Reddy had represented the USA in four Twenty20 International matches, during which he took one wicket. He made his debut for the national team against Cayman Islands in the North America T20 Cup.
