ICC Anti-Corruption Unit chief warns of ‘grey area’ surrounding legends leagues

The anti-corruption leader for the global governing body of cricket has raised concerns regarding exhibition tournaments that feature former international stars. Andrew Ephgrave pointed out that these senior circuits lack formal sanctioning and operate outside official domestic and international frameworks, creating a vulnerable landscape for the sport.

Ephgrave specifically highlighted the potential for reputational harm and referenced past integrity concerns from a senior-level tournament hosted in Sri Lanka during the previous year. He emphasized the necessity of establishing a clear separation between officially recognized competitions and unsanctioned events that rely on the enduring popularity of retired athletes.
