(Reuters) - Bangladesh women's player Shohely Akhter has been banned from all cricket for five years after the spinner was found guilty of breaching the International Cricket Council's (ICC) anti-corruption code, the sport's governing body said on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old formally admitted to breaching five provisions of the code, relating to approaching a Bangladesh player and offering a sum worth two million takas ($16,465) for getting out hit wicket in a Women's T20 World Cup match against Australia in 2023.
