Bangladesh international Shohely Akhter has been banned from all cricket for five years after admitting to five breaches of the ICC’s anti-corruption code, the sport’s governing body said.

Akhter approached a fellow Bangladeshi player and offered her £13,000 ($16,000) to be dismissed and hit a wicket at the Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2023.

The unnamed player reported Akhter, who was not involved in the tournament.

Najmul Abedin Fahim, Bangladesh Cricket Board director and head of the women’s wing said Akhter’s actions were “unfortunate”.
