The charges relate to the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League and attempts to corrupt matches in that tournament – these attempts were disrupted.
The International Cricket Council was appointed by the ECB as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official for the purposes of the ECB’s Code for the tournament and as such issued the charges on the ECB’s behalf.

Article 2.4.6 – Failing or refusing, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any investigation carried out by the DACO in relation to possible Corrupt Conduct under the Code.
The seven others charged with corruption in the 2021 season of the tournament are Krishan Kumar Chaudhary and Parag Sanghvi, co-owner of Pune Devils, Ashar Zaidi [batting coach], Sunny Dhillon [assistant coach], Shadab Ahamed [team manager] and UAE cricketers Saliya Saman and Rizwan Javed.
