The International Cricket Council (ICC) has banned USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy from all cricketing formats for eight years after an Anti-Corruption Tribunal found him guilty of three breaches of the Anti-Corruption Code.
As per the details, the charges stem from the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) had appointed the ICC as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the tournament.
The ICC backdated Reddy’s ban to November 21, 2025, the day it provisionally suspended him.
The tribunal ruled that Reddy attempted to fix or improperly influence the result, progress, conduct or another aspect of matches during the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10.
The tribunal also found that he tried to persuade and encourage another participant to breach the Anti-Corruption Code by taking part in match-fixing during one or more matches in the tournament.
In addition, the tribunal ruled that Reddy obstructed the ICC’s investigation by deleting data and messages from his phone that could have helped investigators.
The ICC has released a redacted version of the tribunal’s decision on liability and sanction to protect the identities of witnesses and other third parties.
Reddy played four T20 Internationals for the USA and took one wicket. He made his international debut against the Cayman Islands in the North America T20 Cup.
