Former West Indies batter Marlon Samuels has been found guilty of four anti-corruption offences by an independent tribunal.
Samuels was charged by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in September 2021 with breaching Emirates Cricket Board anti-corruption rules during his involvement in the Abu Dhabi T10 two years earlier.
The tribunal will decide on a sanction for the 42-year-old Jamaican, who was the player of the match in the 2012 and 2016 T20 World Cup finals, top-scoring in both to lead the West Indies to the titles.
According to the ICC, Samuels was found guilty of failing to disclose the receipt of any gift, payment, hospitality or other benefit “that could bring the participant or the sport of cricket into disrepute”.

He was also found to have not declared a receipt of hospitality with a value of US$750 or more, as well as a failure to co-operate, including obstructing or delaying, an anti-corruption investigation into his behaviour.
Samuels made 345 appearances for the Windies in all formats from 2000 to 2018, amassing 11,134 runs, before announcing his retirement in November 2020.
His career had plenty of controversies, most notably when he was banned from playing for two years between 2008 and 2010 by the ICC for “receiving money, or benefit or other reward that could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute”.
He also had long-running spats with current England Test captain Ben Stokes and the late Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne.
