USA Cricketer Charged For ICC Anti-Corruption Code Breach

The International Cricket Council (ICC) charged USA cricketer Akhilesh Reddy on Friday with three breaches of its Anti-Corruption Code related to the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 2025.

The 25-year-old off-spinner,

who plays for UP Nawabs in the league, has been provisionally suspended with immediate effect.

He has 14 days from November 21 to respond to the charges.

As the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the tournament on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board, the ICC stated that the charges arose from alleged misconduct during the event.

Reddy faces charges under Article 2.1.1 (attempting to fix, contrive, or improperly influence the result, progress, conduct, or any other aspect of matches in the ADT10 2025); Article 2.1.4 (soliciting, inducing, or encouraging another participant to breach Article 2.1.1); and Article 2.4.7 for obstructing the investigation by deleting data and messages from a mobile device.

The ICC said it would not comment further until the disciplinary process is completed.

Reddy made his USA debut earlier this year at the North America T20 Cup, participating in four matches.
