The International Cricket Council (ICC), on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), has charged eight players and officials for breaching different counts of the ECB Anti-Corruption Code for Participants for the T10 League (the ‘Code’).
The charges relate to the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League and attempts to corrupt matches in that tournament; these attempts were disrupted, said a press release.
The ICC was appointed by the ECB as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) for the purposes of the ECB’s Code for this tournament, and as such, it is issuing these charges on the ECB’s behalf.
Those charged include Krishan Kumar Chaudhary (co-owner of a team), Parag Sanghvi (co-owner of a team), Ashar Zaidi (batting coach), Rizwan Javed (domestic player), Saliya Saman (domestic player), Sunny Dhillon (assistant coach), Nasir Hossain (Bangladesh player), and Shadab Ahamed (team manager).
Meanwhile, six of the charged, Krishan Kumar Chaudhary, Parag Sanghvi, Azhar Zaidi, Rizwan Javed, Saliya Saman, and Sunny Dhillon, have been provisionally suspended and all have 14 days from September 19 to respond to the charges.—APP
