After this, the board's anti-corruption body, after investigation, gave him a 16-month sentence, in which he was suspended for 13 months. Now he cannot play any cricket till August 28. Cars cooperated in the investigation and accepted all the charges against him. However, it has also been revealed that Cars used to bet only in those matches in which he did not play.
