UK Club Cricketer Rizwan Javed Receives 17-Year Ban for Match-Fixing in Abu Dhabi T10 League

Cricket - Guru Gary - ICC - Match-Fixing - Mohammad Hafeez - Sarfaraz Khan

Rizwan Javed, a UK-based club cricketer, has been handed a 17-and-a-half-year ban from cricket for attempts to fix matches during the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 tournament. The ICC's anti-corruption unit imposed the second-lengthiest ban in cricket history.

Rizwan Javed, a UK-based club cricketer, has been banned for 17-and-a-half years from all forms of cricket after being found guilty of multiple match-fixing attempts during the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League. The International Cricket Council (ICC) took action against Javed for five breaches of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Anti-Corruption Code. This ban marks one of the lengthiest in cricket history, highlighting the severity of corruption in the sport.

In a contrasting cricket news, Mohammad Hafeez was removed from his role as the Director of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after a disappointing performance by the national team in the ICC World Cup 2023. Hafeez, a former Test captain, had been appointed to the position in November the previous year. The PCB's decision reflects the consequences faced by officials for unsatisfactory outcomes.

Khayelitsha township in Cape Town found an inspiring initiative led by 'Guru Gary' using cricket to steer slum children away from drugs and crime. Despite facing poverty and social challenges, the township is embracing sports as a tool for positive change. Kent Cricket recently organised the Kent Girls Super Camp aimed at empowering young female cricketers, marking a step towards gender inclusivity in the sport.

Noteworthy figures mentioned in the news include Sarfaraz Khan, who registered a historic debut with the fastest half-century by an Indian in Test cricket, equalling Hardik Pandya's record. Meanwhile, Joseph Gillard and Jessica Davidson were recognized for their cricketing potential with the Emerging Player Relocation Fund from Cricket NSW, showcasing efforts to support emerging talents in the cricketing world.
