Which four Assam players have been suspended?
These four suspended Assam players are Amit Sinha, Ishan Ahmed, Aman Tripathi, and Abhishek Thakuri. All four of these players have been accused of involvement in corrupt practices in the ongoing SMAT season.
Reason for suspensions
The Assam Cricket Association (ACA) has lodged an FIR against all four players, who have represented the team at various stages. The FIR has been filed at the state police's crime branch. All these players have been accused of influencing and attempting to instigate some Assam players in the ongoing SMAT season.
ACA secretary Sanatan Das said, "After the allegations came to light, the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ASCU) of the BCCI conducted an enquiry. The ACA has also initiated criminal proceedings. Prima facie, there appears to be their involvement in serious misconduct, affecting the integrity of the sport."
All of these players have been suspended in the ongoing investigation period, which will be updated as time progresses. ACA secretary added, "They have been suspended to curtail any scope of further deterioration of the situation."
Suspended players can't participate in cricket events
All four of these players are now ineligible to participate in any state-level tournaments or matches conducted by the ACA, along with its district units and affiliated clubs. They have been banned from participating in any cricket-related activity, such as players, match referees, umpires, coaches, etc.
Assam failed to advance to the Super League stage of the ongoing SMAT 2025-26. In the Elite Group A of the SMAT 2025-26, Assam finished in the seventh position out of eight teams with 12 points in seven matches by recording three wins and four losses. Assam played their all Elite Group A matches in the ongoing SMAT season in Lucknow.
