Several Bangladeshi cricketers including veteran left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak were investigated for their involvement in fixing during the BPL and domestic cricket.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board investigated multiple cricketers for their involvement in fixing during BPL tournaments and domestic cricket. Veteran left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak, who had played 13 Tests and 153 ODIs for Bangladesh, was among those questioned about suspicious activities.
The BCB's Anti-Corruption Unit, working with the ICC, identified patterns of suspicious activity in BPL matches and domestic competitions. Several lower-profile Bangladeshi cricketers were found to have been involved in spot-fixing, with bookmakers targeting players who were on low contracts and financially vulnerable.
The investigations resulted in bans of varying lengths for several players. The BCB acknowledged that corruption remained a significant challenge, particularly in domestic cricket where anti-corruption resources were limited and player payments were low. The board pledged to strengthen its anti-corruption infrastructure and improve player education.
The recurring fixing scandals in Bangladeshi cricket led to calls for more robust governance and better player welfare. The BPL, which had started with great promise, saw its reputation significantly damaged by the persistent corruption allegations. The BCB implemented stricter vetting of franchise owners and stronger anti-corruption monitoring in subsequent seasons.
Multiple players investigated and banned. BCB strengthened anti-corruption measures.

Multiple franchises

The IPL's Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) submitted a formal report to the BCCI in May 2026 flagging "certain anomalies" observed across the league stage: unauthorised persons had been seen in the team dugout, on the team bus, and at team hotels during IPL matches in apparent breach of anti-corruption Standard Operating Procedures. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed the report publicly and warned that "very stringent action" would be taken if violations continued. Separately, the BCCI tightened protocols after reports that certain franchise owners had been seen mingling with players in restricted areas — a specific interaction prohibited under the anti-corruption framework.
Various county sides

Despite MCC's attempts to reduce gambling on cricket through the 1840s and 1850s, county cricket in the 1860s still operated in a culture where betting was widespread and where allegations of arranged results circulated freely among those closest to the game. Several county fixtures of the decade generated suspicion among contemporaries that the outcome had been agreed in advance, though the absence of formal investigation meant that no players were ever charged.
