Former West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels charged with alleged corruption
On Wednesday, the International Cricket Council announced that
former West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels had been accused of violating four sections of the
anti-corruption code.
According to the ICC, the charges stem from the England & Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) T10 event in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Failure to disclose receipts for any gifts or hospitality valued at more than US$750, as well as cooperating with the anti-corruption probe and hiding information, are among the charges.
Samuels will have 14 days to respond to the charges, according to the statement. Reuters approached a representative for the player for comment.
In 2008, the ICC banned Samuels for two years for "taking money, benefit, or any reward that could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute."
Since his West Indies debut in 2000, the 40-year-old has played 71 tests, 2017 one-day internationals, and 67 Twenty-20 internationals. He amassed over 11,000 runs in international cricket, including 11 centuries and 152 wickets.
