The ICC bans United States international offspinner Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy for eight years after an Anti-Corruption Tribunal finds him guilty of breaching three counts of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code. Multiple reports say the offences relate to conduct during the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, where the ICC acted as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the Emirates Cricket Board. The tribunal’s findings include that Reddy attempted to influence aspects of matches, encouraged a teammate to take part in corrupt conduct, and obstructed the investigation. Reports describe an approach to a teammate to deliberately concede extra runs, which the teammate refused and later reported to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit. During the subsequent investigation, Reddy admits deleting WhatsApp messages and call logs from communications with the teammate, but the tribunal rules the deletion was intentional evidence destruction rather than routine “data hygiene.” The ban is backdated to 21 November 2025, when Reddy was first provisionally suspended. Reddy is therefore ruled ineligible to play all forms of cricket for the duration of the sanction.
