He went on to represent the USA in four T20 Internationals, claiming one wicket, and played for Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket. The teammate refused and reported the matter to the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit, after which he was dropped from the playing XI. Investigators also found that Reddy had deleted WhatsApp chats and call logs with the player before the probe began. This is the second instance in quick succession of a USA cricketer facing an ICC ban. The ICC said in a statement, “USA player Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy has been banned from all cricket for eight years after he was found guilty by an ICC Anti-Corruption Tribunal of breaching three counts of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.”
