Zimbabwe Cricket on Saturday stated that it has banned a fan from the nation’s all cricket venues for 5 years due to his effort of getting a player concerned in spot-fixing. The fan- Edward Walter Mupangano was looking to introduce Zimbabwe quick bowler Luke Jongwe to an Indian bookmaker. Mupangano admitted to violating Zimbabwe Cricket’s Anti-Corruption Code and was banned for 5 years.
According to ZC, the bookmaker wished the player to bowl in a pre-arranged method throughout a global match in return for cash.
“Edward Walter Mupangano, a 27-year-old cricket fan from Harare who in the past also had playing trials with a local club, received the sanction after he approached Luke Jongwe on 4 August 2022 and sought to introduce him to an Indian bookmaker who allegedly wanted the player to bowl in a pre-arranged manner during an international match in return for a payment amounting to USD 7000,” ZC stated in a press release.
“The facilitator himself would allegedly receive USD 3000 if the planned corrupt activity was successful,” the assertion added.
