Lokuhettige, who played in the Bushies’ win over Belvoir on Saturday, has been suspended with immediate effect after being charged by the ICC in relation to the T10 Cricket League played in the UAE in December last year.
The charges against Lokuhettige are:
- Being party to an effort to fix or contrive or to otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct, or other aspect(s) of a domestic match
- Directly soliciting, inducing, enticing or encouraging a player to breach code article 2.1.1
- Failure to disclose to the designated anti-corruption officer (without unnecessary delay) full details of any approaches or invitations he received to engage in corrupt conduct under the code
Lokuhettige has until November 27 to respond to the charges but at a minimum he will miss matches against Wodonga and the Raiders as he serves his interim ban.
