Johannesburg:&nbsp;Indian-born former South&nbsp;Africa batsman Gulam Bodi was on Thursday named as the player&nbsp;charged with involvement in match-fixing during the country's&nbsp;domestic Twenty20 competition last year.
Cricket South Africa confirmed that Bodi, who was in IPL&nbsp;side Delhi Daredevils' squad in 2012, has been charged under&nbsp;CSA's anti-corruption code for "contriving to fix, or&nbsp;otherwise improperly influence aspects of the 2015 RAM SLAM&nbsp;T20 Challenge Series".

Bodi, now 37, played in two ODIs for South Africa, both&nbsp;against Zimbabwe, in 2007. He played in a single Twenty20&nbsp;International against the West Indies the same year. He was a&nbsp;member of South Africa's squad for the inaugural World&nbsp;Twenty20 in 2007, although he did not play in a single game.&nbsp;
Bodi was born in Hathuran (Gujarat) in India and his&nbsp;family moved to South Africa when he was a teenager. He also&nbsp;played for the South Africa Under-19 side in the World Cup in&nbsp;1998.
"Following our investigations and due process, we have&nbsp;reached a point where we can confirm that Mr Bodi is the&nbsp;intermediary who was charged by CSA in early December 2015&nbsp;under the CSA Anti-Corruption Code," said CSA Chief Executive&nbsp;Haroon Lorgat.
"Mr Bodi is presently co-operating with the CSA&nbsp;Anti-Corruption officials. We now await his response to the&nbsp;charges and the matter will take its course in accordance with&nbsp;the process outlined in the Code," Lorgat said in a CSA&nbsp;statement.
The CSA said that pending receipt of his response, Bodi&nbsp;has been provisionally suspended under Article 4.7.1 of the&nbsp;Code.&nbsp;
"The provisional suspension means that Bodi may not be&nbsp;involved in any capacity in any match or any other kind of&nbsp;function, event or activity (other than authorised&nbsp;anti-corruption education or rehabilitation programmes) that&nbsp;is authorised, organised, sanctioned, recognised or supported&nbsp;in any way by CSA, the ICC, a National Cricket Federation or&nbsp;any member of a National Cricket Federation," the CSA said.&nbsp;
"In accordance with the provisions of the Code, CSA will&nbsp;not comment publicly on the specific facts of this matter as&nbsp;the case is pending," it said.&nbsp;
