Nine charged with Bangladesh fixing

The International Cricket Council has charged nine Bangladesh cricketers and officials with match-fixing and other related offenses allegedly committed during this year’s Bangladesh Premier League.

The charges were announced at a joint news conference held in Dhaka by the ICC and Bangladesh Cricket Board yesterday. The offenders were not named. The charges relate to an alleged conspiracy within the Dhaka Gladiators franchise to engage in match-fixing and spot-fixing activity during matches in the BPL, as well as failures by individuals to report approaches made to them to join the conspiracy, an ICC statement said. Former Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful confessed to match-fixing after being suspended by the BCB pending an investigation in June.
