Bengaluru Blasters bowling coach Vinu Prasad and batsman Vishwanathan were arrested on Friday, in another instance of alleged match-fixing. Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sandeep Patil said the duo allegedly fixed a KPL match last year between Bengaluru Blasters and Belagavi Panthers. “Vishwanathan had batted slowly, for which he got `5 lakh. Further investigations are on and a few bookies who were involved will be arrested soon.”Sources said the arrests were made based on information provided by Bhavesh Bafna, who was arrested earlier in connection with the scandal. “Bafna was arrested for trying to book a Ballari Tuskers bowler. During interrogation, he admitted that he had also booked a Blasters batsman,” said an official.“He revealed that it was Vishwanathan who was booked through the team’s bowling coach Vinu Prasad. They had offered him `5 lakh if he wasted balls and got out after that. Accordingly, Vishwanathan played 17 balls and scored only nine before getting out against Panthers.

  • ICC V Kagiso RABADA Decision of Judicial
    ICC v Kagiso RABADA Decision of Judicial Commissioner – Michael Heron QC 28 March 2018 Counsel for ICC: Ms Sally Clark, ICC Senior Legal Counsel assisted by Adrian Griffith, ICC Senior Manager, Umpires and Referees Counsel for Mr Rabada: Advocate Dali Mpofu SC, Advocate Ms Kerusha Pillay, and instructing lawyers, Mr David Becker and Mr Matt Kemp of Becker & Associates Introduction and Match Referee decision 1. Kagiso Rabada of South Africa was charged with a Level Two offence for his conduct in the second test match against Australia at Port Elizabeth on 9 March 2018. The incident was reported by the Umpires to the Match Referee and described as “inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with a player in breach of Article 2.2.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel (the Code).” 2. Mr Rabada denied the offence and indicated he wished to contest the charge at a full disciplinary hearing. That hearing was held by the Match Referee on 11 March 2018. 3. The Match Referee heard evidence from two of the Umpires (one was unavailable) and Mr Rabada (amongst others). He did not hear evidence from Mr Smith. On 12 March, the Match Referee found Mr Rabada guilty and imposed a sanction of 50% of the applicable match fee. As a result, Mr Rabada received 3 demerit points which in addition to the demerit points he had already accumulated meant that he would be suspended for the next two test matches between South Africa and Australia. 1 I note for completeness that the Match Referee imposed the minimum penalty available for such an offence (and that the demerit points automatically followed from that minimum penalty).
