Brendan Taylor banned from the International Cricket Council

The Zimbabwe Cricket star Brendan Taylor is now banned from the International Cricket Council after receiving a bribe of $15,000 for spot-fixing. The batsman, Taylor admits he took the said ‘deposit’ for spot-fixing but was said he never pulled through with the arrangement then added that it was all blackmail.

Taylor explained that this all started back in October of 2019 when he was bribed by an Indian Businessman. He then reported this to the ICC which took four months to process before he started to feel unsafe for possible threats or attacks.

He then flew to India to talk about the arrangement for the launch of the new T20 competition back in Zimbabwe. This is when Taylor accepted the $15,000 bribe.

“We had drinks and during the course of the evening, they openly offered me cocaine, which they themselves engaged in. I foolishly took the bait,” Taylor said through Twitter then added “The following morning, the same men stormed into my hotel room and showed me a video taken of me the night before doing cocaine and told me that if I did not spot-fix at international matches for them, the video would be released to the public.”

Taylor then clarified that the $15,000 was just a starter fee and that he was promised to be paid an additional $20,000 upon the completion of the deal. Taylor, 35, resigned from international cricket last September after 34 tests, 205 one-dayers, and 45 T20s for Zimbabwe.
