The number one all-rounder in the world has accepted three charges of corruption and he is ‘extremely sad’ to have been suspended from playing the game.
I am obviously extremely sad to have been banned from the game I love, but I completely accept my sanction for not reporting the approaches.
According to the information available, a bookie from India named Deepak Agarwal contacted him on WhatsApp seeking inside information during the 2018 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and tri-nation series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in the same year.
