Detailed explanation-1: -West Indies batsman Nicholas Pooran has been banned from his country’s next four Twenty20 internationals after admitting to tampering with the ball.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, it’s something to be really proud of. But it is just a game. “I invested too much to the point where I lost control of my values. What had become important to me was being liked, being well valued, feeling really important to my teammates, like I was contributing something by using sandpaper on a cricket ball.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mr Chhayakar’s offences are linked to the previous cases of former UAE players Qadeer Khan and Gulam Shabbir. Both Qadeer and Shabbir accepted sanctions for admitted breaches of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code relating to approaches they received from Mr Chhayakar.
Detailed explanation-4: -Steve Smith (left) and David Warner (right) were banned by Cricket Australia for 12 months from international and domestic cricket while Cameron Bancroft (not shown) was banned for 9 months.
Detailed explanation-5: -Warner was cast as the key villain in the scandal – dubbed “Sandpaper-gate” – having conspired with then-skipper Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft. Like Warner, Smith was banned from playing for a year and from captaining Australia, but his punishment lasted two years while Warner’s was indefinite.
