Former West Indies player Marlon Samuels banned from all forms of cricket for six years for anti-corruption code violation

Former West Indies batter Marlon Samuels was on November 23 handed a six-year ban from all forms of cricket for failing to disclose benefits he received during the Abu Dhabi T10 league that could have brought the sport into disrepute, concealing information and not co-operating with the investigation officer.

In all, Samuels breached the Emirates Cricket Board's anti-corruption code on four counts and was charged by the International Cricket Council in its capacity as the Designated Anti-Corruption Official of the Emirates board in September 2021.

Samuels, who played 71 Tests, 207 ODIs and 67 T20Is, was found guilty by the Tribunal in August and his ban began on November 11.
