Former co-owner of a Mumbai T20 League franchise, Gurmeet Singh Bhamrah, has been officially banned by the BCCI Ombudsman, Justice (Retd) Arun Mishra, for attempting to make a corrupt approach to players Dhawal Kulkarni and Bhavin Thakkar during the 2019 edition of the league. Kulkarni, a seasoned medium pacer, has previously represented India in 12 ODIs and two T20 Internationals.
Bhamrah, who also had ties with the now-defunct GT20 Canada, was the co-owner of SoBo Supersonics, one of the participating teams in the Mumbai T20 League. Notably, the league is set for a revival this year after a prolonged hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced its suspension post-2019.
