USA cricketer Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy has been banned for eight years by the ICC after being found guilty of three anti-corruption rule violations. The tribunal convicted him of match-fixing, soliciting others to fix matches, and destroying evidence during the Abu Dhabi T10 2025 competition. Reddy, suspended since November, was charged under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code for attempting to improperly influence match outcomes and obstructing the investigation by deleting data from his device.

The ban is backdated to 21 November 2025. The ICC emphasized the severity of his actions, which involved deliberate efforts to corrupt the integrity of cricket in the UAE. The tribunal's ruling underscores the ICC's zero-tolerance stance on corruption in the sport.

Reddy's case highlights ongoing efforts to safeguard cricket's integrity against systematic threats.
