By Tmg Digital - 25 January 2016
Cricket SA (CSA) chief executive Haroon Lorgat on Monday announced that former Proteas‚ Dolphins‚ Titans and Lions cricketer‚ Gulam Bodi‚ has been slapped with a 20-year ban from the sport‚ with five years of this suspended.
Bodi‚ 37‚ was named and suspended by Cricket SA in December 2015 as an “intermediary” between players and match-fixers during the Ram Slam T20 tournament.
Lorgat told a news conference that Cricket SA was fortunate that several players had rejected offers from Bodi.
The investigation is ongoing‚ so he declined further comment on other players who could be implicated.
