ICC Bans Indian-American Cricketer Akhilesh Reddy

Reddy, an Indian-origin player, was found guilty of attempting to influence matches, inducing teammates to engage in corrupt conduct, and destroying evidence, the ICC said in a statement.

The ban is effective from the date of the sanction, and Reddy is prohibited from participating in any cricket activity under the ICC's anti-corruption code.

The case was investigated under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code, with the charges relating to the T10 league held in Abu Dhabi in 2025.

The ICC's anti-corruption unit has been increasing scrutiny of franchise leagues, and this ban is part of a broader effort to curb corruption in the sport.
