South African cricket was defaced with yet another embarrassment when previous opening batsman Alviro Petersen was given a two-year boycott in the wake of consenting to a request deal with Cricket South Africa on Wednesday.
As productive as the Proteas have been on the field in the course of recent decades, debasement embarrassments, coordinate setting, and such cases have been a steady smear on the South African side.
Petersen, a veteran of 36 Tests for South Africa, was the 6th cricketer to be banned after a debasement embarrassment that likewise prompted to previous cricketer Gulam Bodi getting banned for a long time. While Bodi was charged for endeavouring to settle matches amid South Africa's 2014-15 household T20 season, Petersen has been charged for not reporting his meeting with bookies and such exercises by different players, obliterating and disguising confirmations and not participating with agents.
"I now profoundly lament having partaken in these gatherings and not to have promptly reported them to the powers as I am obliged to do," Petersen said in the CSA proclamation.
The other four — Thami Tsolekile, Jean Symes, Pumelela Matshikwe and Ethy Mbhalati — have all been banned from the diversion for seven to 12 years.
