Controversy and Ban Lift
On 23 January 2023, Mohammad Aadil Alam was arrested by Nepal Police on allegations of spot-fixing during the Nepal T20 League. He was among several players investigated for suspected corruption, including intentionally bowling no-balls.[18]
In March 2024, the Kathmandu District Court acquitted Alam due to lack of sufficient evidence. The ruling effectively cleared him of the charges.[19]
Following the verdict, the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) reviewed the case through its Integrity Committee. On 5 May 2025, CAN officially lifted Alam’s suspension, allowing him to return to domestic and international cricket. The decision was reported by several major Nepali news outlets.[20][21][22][23]
