South African batsman JP Duminy reported that he was approached by a suspected bookmaker during IPL 2012, and was praised for following proper reporting procedures.
South African batsman Jean-Paul Duminy reported a suspicious approach he received during the 2012 IPL season. Duminy was contacted by an individual who attempted to recruit him into a fixing arrangement. He immediately reported the approach to the ACSU, following the proper procedures.
The approach was investigated by the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit, which used the information as part of its ongoing efforts to identify and disrupt fixing networks operating within the IPL. The identity of the individual who approached Duminy was not publicly disclosed, but the report contributed to the broader intelligence picture.
Duminy's reporting was held up as an example of how the anti-corruption system should work. Unlike in the 1990s, when players either ignored approaches or were too afraid to report them, the post-Condon era had created a culture where players understood their obligation to report and felt supported in doing so.
Cricket South Africa and the ICC both praised Duminy for his actions. The incident, along with Wayne Parnell's admission, illustrated that South African cricket continued to be targeted by fixers, and that the legacy of the Cronje era meant that the country's players remained under particular scrutiny.
Duminy praised for proper reporting. Incident used in ongoing ACSU investigations.

Multiple franchises
8 May 2026
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.
