Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates In cricket, match fixing occurs as a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result, violating the rules of the game and often the law. In particular, players have been approached by bookmakers and bribed to throw matches or aspects of matches (such as the toss), or provide other essential information. Fixing has happened in both international - including Test matches and One Day Internationals - and domestic cricket. Banning a cricketer from playing cricket for varying durations may be one of the penalties for those found guilty of match-fixing charges. Such a ban is issued by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport's governing body, or by the respective cricket board to which the offending player belongs. A ban may be for match fixing or spot-fixing. Both are misdemeanours banned under the ICC Cricket Code of Conduct.
