USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy has been banned from all forms of cricket for eight years after an ICC Anti-Corruption Tribunal found him guilty of three breaches of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code relating to the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the sanction is backdated to November 21, 2025, the date on which Reddy was provisionally suspended.

The charges stem from the Abu Dhabi T10 2025 tournament in the United Arab Emirates, where the ICC acted as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official (DACO) on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).

The Tribunal found Reddy guilty of attempting to improperly influence matches during the tournament, in violation of Article 2.1.1 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code. The charge covers attempts to fix or otherwise improperly influence the result, progress, conduct, or any other aspect of matches.

He was also found guilty under Article 2.1.4 for attempting to solicit, induce, persuade, encourage, or intentionally facilitate another participant to engage in match-fixing or related corrupt conduct during the tournament.

In addition, the Tribunal ruled that Reddy breached Article 2.4.7 by obstructing the ICC's anti-corruption investigation after deleting data and messages from a mobile device that may have been relevant to the inquiry.

As a result of the ruling, Reddy is prohibited from participating in any cricket activity sanctioned by the ICC or its members until the conclusion of his eight-year suspension, which began on November 21, 2025.
