ICC Anti-Corruption Chief Highlights Risks and Ambiguities of Legends Leagues
Andrew Ephgrave, head of the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, described legends leagues featuring retired players as a 'grey area' due to their often unsanctioned status and potential reputational risks. While these leagues offer fans a chance to see iconic players, they lack official ICC or domestic board sanctioning. Ephgrave cited a 2024 Sri Lankan legends league linked to corruption allegations, emphasizing the need to distinguish such events from official cricket structures. He also noted increased player reporting of corruption in the sport.
