The International Cricket Council (ICC), acting on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), has charged USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy with three breaches of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.
The charges are linked to the Abu Dhabi T10 2025 tournament, which was held in the United Arab Emirates. The ICC was appointed by the ECB as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) for the competition. As a result, the ICC is handling the case on behalf of the ECB.
Reddy’s suspension has been backdated to November 21, 2025, when he was provisionally suspended. After reviewing the matter, the Tribunal found him guilty and formal charges have now been issued.
Three Anti-Corruption Charges Against Akhilesh Reddy
The first charge is under Article 2.1.1, which states: “Attempting to fix, contrive or otherwise influence improperly, or being party to an agreement or effort to fix or contrive in any way or otherwise influence improperly, the result, progress, conduct or other aspect of matches in the ADT10 2025.”
The second charge falls under Article 2.1.4, which states: “Soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating (or attempting to do the former) another Participant to breach Article 2.1.1 of the Code in one or more matches in the ADT10 2025.”
The third charge is under Article 2.4.7, which states: “Obstructing the DACO’s investigation through deletion of data and messages from a mobile device which may have been relevant to the DACO’s investigation.”
Reddy has been provisionally suspended from all forms of cricket with immediate effect. He has 14 days from November 21, 2025, to respond to the charges.
The ICC also confirmed that it will not make any further comments on the matter until the disciplinary process is complete. The case will now proceed according to the ICC’s anti-corruption regulations.
