T20NPL Prevention of Malpractices:

At T20NPL (T20 National Cricket League), we are committed to ensuring that cricket is played with the utmost integrity, sportsmanship, and fairness. Our Prevention of Malpractices Policy serves as a comprehensive framework to prevent any form of unethical behavior, including match-fixing, betting, and other forms of malpractices that can tarnish the spirit of the game. By implementing strict policies and raising awareness, we aim to protect the credibility of the sport and maintain a clean and fair competition for all players, coaches, and stakeholders.

Why Preventing Malpractices Is Essential?

Malpractices such as match-fixing, spot-fixing, and any form of corruption can severely damage the credibility of the game, compromise player safety, and disrupt fair competition. The T20NPL Prevention of Malpractices Policy is designed to:

Maintain the Integrity of Cricket: Our policy ensures that every participant competes honestly, upholding the values of the sport.

Protect Players and Coaches: By preventing unethical conduct, we safeguard the careers of players, coaches, and officials from any legal, professional, and personal repercussions.

Ensure a Fair Playing Environment: A fair and transparent playing field is critical to ensuring that every participant is judged on their skills and performance, rather than being affected by external factors like betting or match-fixing.
