The International Cricket Council announced that Raja Nayer, a former influential board member of Zimbabwe’s cricket governing body, has been banned for 20 years.

Nayer allegedly offered Zimbabwe captain Graham Cremer $30,000 to fix a match against the visiting West Indies last October.

Nayer, who was the treasurer and marketing director of the Harare Metropolitan Cricket Association, allegedly breached the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

The ICC claims that he violated Article 2.1.1 of the code for being allegedly party to an effort to fix or contrive or otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspects of an International match or matches.

In his second charge, according to the ICC, he breached Article 2.1.3 of the code as he allegedly offered “Mr. Cremer US$30,000 to fix or contrive or otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspects of an International match or matches.”

Rajan was also accused of violating Article 2.1.4 of the ICC Code for “directly soliciting, inducing, enticing or encouraging Mr. Cremer to breach Article 2.1.1.”

Rajan was not available for comment.
