The full story

The International Cricket Council's Anti-Corruption Tribunal has suspended American cricketer Akhilesh Reddy for eight years following findings of match-fixing violations. The 26-year-old was charged in November with breaching three counts of the sport's anticorruption code during the Abu Dhabi T10 League franchise competition.

Reddy was found guilty of three distinct offences: attempting to fix or improperly influence matches, attempting to recruit another player into corrupt activities, and destroying data and messages from his mobile device that were relevant to the investigation. The tribunal noted that Reddy's effort to involve the other player in corrupt conduct ultimately proved unsuccessful.

The suspension takes effect from 21 November 2025, according to the ICC's statement released on Monday. This case represents a significant enforcement action within professional cricket's anticorruption framework.
