The International Cricket Council (ICC) has banned West Indies cricketer Devon Thomas from all cricket after he admitted to breaching seven counts of the anti-corruption codes of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

The ICC is the Designated Anti-Corruption Official.

This period of ineligibility has been backdated to May 23 of the previous year, the original date of Thomas’ suspension.

His most serious offence involved breaching Article 2.1.1 of the SLC Code during Sri Lanka’s domestic T20 competition, which encompasses “contriving or being party to an agreement to fix or attempt to fix, contrive or influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspects of matches in the Lanka Premier League 2021.”

The other counts stem from his failures to cooperate with the ICC.

Alex Marshall, the ICC General Manager of the Integrity Unit, said, “Having played both international and professional domestic and franchise cricket, Devon attended numerous anti-corruption education sessions. He therefore knew what his obligations were under the Anti-Corruption Codes but failed to meet these obligations across three different franchise leagues.”

“This ban is apt and should send a strong message to players and corrupters that attempts to corrupt our sport will be dealt with firmly,” he continued.

The Antiguan native debuted in 2009 and has played 34 matches for West Indies across formats. He last represented the Windies in 2022.
