The ban has been backdated to November 21, 2025, when he was provisionally suspended. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The ICC, which was overseeing anti-corruption matters for the tournament on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board, found him guilty on three counts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>According to the ICC, Reddy violated: \u201cArticle 2.1.1: Attempting to fix, contrive or otherwise influence improperly, or being party to an agreement or effort to fix or contrive in any way or otherwise influence improperly, the result, progress, conduct or other aspect of matches in the ADT10 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>\u201cArticle 2.1.4: Soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating (or attempting to do the former) another Participant to breach Article 2.1.1 of the Code in one or more Matches in the ADT10 2025.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>\u201cArticle 2.4.7: Obstructing the DACO\u2019s investigation through deletion of data and messages from a mobile device which may have been relevant to the DACO\u2019s investigation.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>How the case unfolded<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The case relates to an incident on November 19, 2025, before the opening match of the Aspin Stallions. The tribunal found that Reddy approached a teammate, identified as &#8216;Player A&#8217;, and asked him to &#8220;give runs&#8221; while bowling, allegedly on the instructions of team management.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>After the teammate refused and reported the approach to the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, he was dropped from the playing XI. Investigators also found that Reddy deleted WhatsApp chats and call logs with the player before the probe. Although he claimed it was routine &#8220;data hygiene,&#8221; the tribunal ruled that he had deliberately destroyed evidence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Reddy has played four T20Is for the USA, claiming one wicket.
