Petersen has allegedly fixed matches during the 2015 edition of the South African domestic T20 competition, known as the Ram Slam. The tournament has been under close scrutiny for quite some time now. Petersen, who represents Highveld Lions, has been charged with multiple breaches of CSA's anti-corruption code. The 35 year old opening batsman has been given 14 days to respond to the charges.  Notably, Five other South African Cricketers- Gulam Bodi, Thami Tsolekile, Jean Symes, Ethy Mbhalati and Pumelela Matshikwe were banned for match fixing in the previous edition of the T20 tournament.
