The Abu Dhabi T10 league’s organizers, T Ten Sports Management, have refuted allegations of corruption and unlawful activity in the league, claiming that there are no ongoing investigations by the International Cricket Council (ICC) into the game.
In particular, a Daily Mail article dated January 7 stated that the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) has received multiple reports about corrupt activities in the most recent Abu Dhabi T10, which was held from November 23 to December 4, 2022.
T Ten Sports Management, on the other hand, released a statement on Saturday in which it refuted the accusations.
“As a responsible event owner, we host the tournament at a high-quality international stadium. We attract some of the world’s best players, while also developing local talent and employing international level ICC and ACC match officials and referees,” the statement read.
“We contract the ICC to manage and investigate any allegations of corruption, which then fall under their scope to manage. We have not been notified on any anti-corruption issues and will continue to take the lead of the ICC,” it added.
The 2022 season was the sixth edition of Abu Dhabi T10. The league saw participation from some of the best players — Shakib Al Hasan, Andre Russell, Moeen Ali, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Sikander Raza and Wanindu Hasaranga — around the globe.
