Yogi Patel jailed for 4 years

The genie of fixing came out in Sri Lanka this time and this time his target League was made. A Sri Lankan court sentenced Yogi Patel of India to four years in jail in the match -fixing case. Yogi Patel was accused of offering to fix the match in the Legends League T20 tournament played in Kandy. He was accused on the basis of the complaint of Upul Tharanga, chairman of Sri Lanka’s selection committee, and the Patel was prosecuted in his absence due to the court running away from the country. He was arrested in March last year and was later released on bail in May as part of strict conditions.

Strict punishment in match fixing

The neighboring country Sri Lanka has strict laws related to match fixing. In Sri Lanka’s law, match fixing has been kept under criminal law. If someone is found guilty of match fixing in Sri Lanka, then he may be sentenced to 10 years or fine. Also, both sentence or fine of 10 years is possible. However, the Legends Cricket League officially has nothing to do with the Sri Lanka Cricket Board or the ICC. But in this league, big players from many countries including India play. Sri Lanka adopted the Sports Prevention of Sports Corruption Act in 2019, which provides for jail sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of more than US $ 5,50,000.
