10 Indian First Class and IPL cricketers banned for fixing
Here is the list of 10 prominent domestic Indian names that were banned for fixing in IPL and First Class cricket.
5. Shalabh Srivastava (Kings XI Punjab)
Promising fast bowler Shalabh Srivastava had made a name for himself whilst playing for the Kings XI Punjab in the initial years of the IPL. He was a key member of the team. It was during the crackdown of the premier tournament in 2012 that saw a couple of reporters expose as many as five players being involved in unscrupulous practices. Shalabh was banned for five years.
Shalabh maintained that he did nothing wrong and appealed against the verdict of the BCCI. The BCCI disciplinary committee itself admitted that there was “no evidence of actual match fixing or money changing hands in his case”, but held him guilty of ” grave misconduct and misdemeanour in as much as speaking to an unauthorised person and not reporting to the BCCI”.
