Delhi: The Super 8 round is on the verge of starting in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Now 8 teams will compete after reaching the next round. The Super 8 matches will start from Wednesday, ie 19 June, but before that a big case of match fixing has come to light. According to a report, an attempt was made to fix the match during the group stage matches. A Ugandan player got a call for this, but he complained about it to the International Cricket Council (ICC).

According to the report, a Ugandan player was approached for match fixing during the group matches of the T20 World Cup 2024. A former Kenyan cricketer called him from different numbers for match fixing. The important thing is that the Ugandan player complained about this to the ICC. He immediately informed the anti-corruption unit there in compliance with the ICC's anti-corruption protocol, but in such a situation the identity of the former Kenyan player was not revealed. The ICC has made many strict rules regarding crimes to match fixing. An anti-corruption protocol has also been created for this.

An ICC source said, “It is not surprising that the Ugandan player was approached about match fixing. Associate nations are targeted during big team matches, but in this case the player contacted the ICC in time.”
