Eradicate Match Fixing in Domestic Cricket

The Issue

To,

Shri Harsh Jain, CEO of Dream11

As an avid cricket fan and a regular participant in Dream11, I am increasingly disturbed by the recurrent issue of match-fixing in domestic cricket matches. This nefarious practice does not only affect me but thousands of others who passionately invest in the sport.

Match fixing corrodes the integrity of the sport, casting doubts on genuine victories and unfairly shifting odds. According to the International Centre for Sport Security (ICSS), 60% of all match-fixing allegations in the last five years arose from domestic leagues. This is a staggering statistic that depicts the scale of the issue we face.

This illicit behavior not only taints the spirit of cricket but also impacts platforms like Dream11, where millions of users rely on the fair conduct of matches to play. The uncertainty brought about by match-fixing overshadows our shared enthusiasm and joy for the game. All users associated with fixing are continuously looting innocent people on this platform. They exactly know which players will come to bowl and bat at top order. More interestingly if those fixer drop a high selected star player in their team, then that plyer will not perform, in most cases they don't even come to bowl and bat.

We implore the regulatory bodies to take immediate and decisive action against those found guilty of match-fixing. In addition, we urge for the strengthening of monitoring mechanisms to identify and penalize match-fixing activities swiftly to uphold the authenticity and spirit of the game.

Let's restore faith in the sport we love. Endorse our stand against match fixing in domestic cricket and sign this petition.
