Nasir Hossain amongst eight charged for corruption in Abu Dhabi T10 League

Eight persons, including former Bangladesh all-rounder Nasir Hossain, have been charged for breaching different aspects of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) anti-corruption code during the 2021 edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League. The action of charging those involved has been carried by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on behalf of the ECB.

Hossain, who represented Bangladesh in 19 Tests, 65 ODIs and 31 T20Is, has been charged with Article 2.4.3, Article 2.4.4 and Article 2.4.6, which amount to his failure to disclose details regarding a mysterious gift, non-cooperation in DACO investigations and his inability to disclose the complete details of the corrupt approaches made to him. While Hossain hasn't played international cricket since 2017, he has been active in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) where he also happens to captain the Dhaka franchise.

Two co-owners of teams, Krishan Kumar Chaudhary and Parag Sanghvi, have been charged with Article 2.4.5, Article 2.4.6 and Article 2.4.7, largely relating to their lack of cooperation with investigations carried out by the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) helmed by the ICC. They were also charged with placing bets on different aspects of games that were played out in the season.

Shadab Ahamed, a team manager, along with Sunny Dhillon (assistant coach), Ashar Zaidi (batting coach) and two domestic players (Saliya Saman, Rizwan Javed) are the others who have been charged with violating the code.

Bumrah rejoins Indian team, ACC announce reserve day for Pakistan clash

  Jasprit Bumrah has re-joined the Indian team after a brief hiatus from Asia Cup duties in view of the birth of his first child. He arrived in Colombo early on Friday, just in time for India's first Super 4 match against Pakistan on Sunday. His arrival coincides with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announcing a reserve day for the upcoming crucial match. Due to the persistent inclement weather in Colombo, the ACC has rightly decided to designate a reserve day for Sunday's fixture. In case the weather affects the game on the scheduled day, it will continue on Monday from where it left off.
