Breaking: Rizwan Javed Receives Lengthy Ban for Corruption in Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League

In September of last year, Rizwan, along with seven other players and officials, faced charges by the ICC on behalf of the ECB, acting as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official. Among those implicated was Nasir Hossain, a Bangladesh international who is currently serving a two-year ban.

Rizwan has been found guilty of five violations of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) Anti-Corruption Code for Participants, all linked to the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League.

Rizwan failed to respond to the charges against him, resulting in a waiver of his right to a hearing and automatic guilt of the offenses.

He was convicted of:

  • Article 2.1.1: Being involved in attempts to improperly influence matches or aspects of matches in the Abu Dhabi T10 2021 on three separate occasions.
  • Article 2.1.3: Offering a reward to another participant in exchange for engaging in corrupt conduct.
  • Article 2.1.4: Soliciting, inducing, or facilitating other participants to breach the code on three separate occasions.
  • Article 2.4.4: Failing to disclose full details of any corrupt conduct approaches or invitations received.
  • Article 2.4.6: Failing to cooperate with the DACO’s investigation into possible corrupt conduct.

The ban imposed on Rizwan is backdated to 19 September 2023 when he was initially provisionally suspended for these offenses.

“Rizwan Javed has been handed a significant ban from cricket due to his repeated and serious attempts to corrupt professional cricketers,” stated Alex Marshall, ICC General Manager of Integrity.

“This sanction serves as a clear warning to other individuals seeking to corrupt cricket at any level. It underscores that any efforts to corrupt the sport will face strong consequences.”
