Former West Indies Cricketer Marlon Samuels Receives Six-Year Ban for Corruption

The International Cricket Council announces the ban following Samuels' breaches of the Anti-Corruption Code during a 2019 T10 league in the UAE.

Former West Indies star Marlon Samuels has been banned from all cricket for six years for breaching an anticorruption code, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The charges relate to Samuels' stint in a T10 league in the United Arab Emirates in 2019.
Samuels, who played international cricket for close to two decades, was found guilty of four breaches of the Emirates Cricket Board’s Anti-Corruption Code.
One of the charges was that he failed to disclose “the receipt of any gift, payment, hospitality or other benefit” that “could bring the participant or the sport of cricket into disrepute”, said the ICC.
This is the second time Samuels has been banned, with a two-year ban in 2008 after being caught passing on match-related information to an Indian bookmaker.
