"Amit Sinha, Ishan Ahmed, Aman Tripathi and Abhishek Thakuri have been accused of instigating some of the current Assam team players"
Assam Cricket Association has cracked down hard, suspending four players—Amit Sinha, Ishan Ahmed, Aman Tripathi, and Abhishek Thakuri—for alleged corruption in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025. The immediate ban bars them from all state cricket pending probe.
Spot-Fixing Shadow Over Domestic Scene
The quartet stands accused of trying to lure current Assam team members into fixing during the Lucknow leg from November 26 to December 8. An FIR lodged at Guwahati's crime branch underscores the seriousness, with ACA vowing zero tolerance to protect the game's sanctity. Indian domestic cricket, the breeding ground for IPL stars, can't afford such stains.
This swift action mirrors BCCI's anti-corruption drive, reminding players that shortcuts end careers. Fans hope it cleanses SMAT, ensuring fair play as talents eye bigger stages like the upcoming Vijay Hazare and IPL auctions.
