ICC Bans USA Cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy for Eight Years Over Corruption

Reddy was found to have attempted to fix matches, solicited a teammate to underperform, and obstructed the investigation by deleting relevant data. The ban, backdated to November 21, 2025, prohibits him from all cricket activities until 2033.
