Bookie from Shakib Case has Been Banned for 2 Years by ICC
Deepak Agarwal who was banned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday for two years which was described as an Indian businessman who owned a franchise in the 2018 T10 League played in the United Arab Emirates in a press release. The prohibition was revoked after Deepak had confessed to obstructing the ongoing anti-corruption probe.
Nonetheless, six months of this two-year suspension were postponed as a consequence of the assistance provided by him after he acknowledged that he had broken the Anti-Corruption Code. Deekap, who had owned T10 Team Sindhis for a bit, was punished as a Code for unfair practices during the 2018 edition of the tournament.
The ICC decision ignited a wide-ranging controversy in Bangladesh’s cricket fraternity, and it was subsequently discovered that this Deepak was the same one that was active in the case of Bangladesh’s suspended all-rounder Shakib al Hasan. Former Bangladeshi Captain Shakib has been subject to a two-year prohibition from all aspects of cricket, with one year suspended after admitting three allegations of violation of the ICC Anti-Corruption Law.
Shakib also refused to reveal several unethical approaches to him. In the ICC papers, Shakib referred to one person also called Deepak Agarwal. As mentioned by the ICC, Shakib had sustained contact with Deepak for more than a year. Any of the communications exchanged between Shakib and Deepak had surprised the cricket world. As per the comprehensive report of the Anti-Corruption Bureau published on Monday, Agarwal was charged with destroying evidence in collaboration with the unnamed “Mr. X,” who is also listed as a participant.
Mr. Agarwal told Mr. X to remove all the communications they had entered between them and to erase his number from his phone before attending the ACU inquiry mentioned from ICC in a press release. Article 2.4.7, in which Deepak was convicted, deals with “…concealing, tampering with or destroying any documentation or other information which is relevant to an ongoing investigation.” Under the provisions of the Code, Deepak has chosen to admit the charges and has accepted the penalty in place of the hearing of the Anti-Corruption Tribunal.
