Pakistan cricketer Asif Afridi banned for two years

KARACHI: Pakistan left-arm spinner Asif Afridi has been banned for two years for two separate breaches of the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) Anti-Corruption Code.

The left-arm spinner's suspension will end two years from the date the ban goes into effect, which is September 12, 2022, the date on which he was temporarily suspended. As per ESPNcricinfo, the more serious breach of the code comes in the violation of Article 2.4.10, which involves "directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating any Participant to breach any of the foregoing provisions of this Article 2.4." Although the specifics of this offence have not been made public, it resulted in a two-year penalty. His second offence is a violation of Article 2.4.4, which deals with failing to report corrupt practices. He was also given a six-month penalty for the same offence, which would run concurrently with the two-year suspension.
