USA cricketer Akhilesh Reddy has been charged with three violations of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code in relation to the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 2025. The 25-year-old off-spinner, who plays for UP Nawabs, has been provisionally suspended with immediate effect.
Reddy has 14 days from November 21 to respond to the charges. The ICC, acting as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the tournament on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board, stated that the charges relate to alleged misconduct during the event.
The charges include:
Article 2.1.1: Attempting to fix, contrive, or improperly influence the result or aspects of matches in ADT10 2025
Article 2.1.4: Soliciting or encouraging another participant to breach Article 2.1.1
Article 2.4.7: Obstructing the investigation by deleting data and messages from a mobile device
The ICC said no further details will be provided until the disciplinary process concludes.
Reddy made his USA debut earlier this year in the North America T20 Cup, where he featured in four matches.
