On February 15, 2023, Bangladesh cricket was rocked by spot-fixing allegations in the backdrop of national cricketer Shohely Akhter having reportedly made an offer to her team-mate Lata Mondal to spot-fix, who in turn rejected it and communicated to Bangladesh Cricket Board about the same. Mondal is currently playing in the T20 World Cup in South Africa.
The off-spinner claimed that she is paying the price for trying to prove to a suspected bookie that her national teammates would not accept any offer to fix matches. Shohely Akhter, a Bangladeshi cricketer, has recently found herself at the centre of a controversy over spot-fixing allegations. However, she has since come forward to deny the accusations made against her. It is now up to the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the truth behind the allegations.
