Gulam Bodi, the former South African
international cricketer, was on Monday
(January 25) banned for 20 years after
he admitted to charges of contriving or
attempting to fix matches in South
Africa's domestic Twenty20

The ban, which will take immediate
effect, was announced by Cricket
South Africa (CSA) chief executive
Haroon Lorgat during the tea interval

"Our attitude to corruption will always

actions."
Lorgat added that aspects of the
investigation were still ongoing. Read More: Gulam Bodi banned for 20 years for match-fixing bids - Cricbuzz
