This crime was committed during KPL 2

Ihsanullah Janat has been accused of controlling the outcome of matches during the second season of the Kabul Premier League. The anti-corruption body of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has revealed that three other players are also under suspicion. They are currently under investigation.

After the allegations are proven, the board will take appropriate action against such players. However, incidents like fixing have happened in the cricket world before as well. These tarnish the image of this game which is called a gentleman's game.
