The following is the full text of a West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) statement on the guilty verdict against batsman Marlon Samuels:
The Disciplinary Committee of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), having heard and deliberated on the charges laid against Mr. Marlon Samuels, found by majority opinion that Mr. Samuels was guilty of violating the ICC Rules of Conduct 4 ix in that he "received money, benefit or other reward which could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute."
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has found middle order batsman Marlon Samuels guilty of a serious code of conduct violation that carries an automatic two-year ban from all forms of cricket.
Samuels, a 27-year-old right-hander who has played in 29 Tests and 107 ODIs for the West Indies, was found guilty of violating Clause 4-9 of the ICC code of conduct, which reads:
Barbados and West Indies fast bowler Corey Collymore has signed for Sussex as a Kolpak on a one-year contract.
Collymore replaces Australian Ryan Harris, who was embroiled in a contractual farce last month. He originally joined the club as a Kolpak but, during Sussex's first match of the season against Hampshire, Harris signed a three-year deal with Queensland.
Former West Indies all-rounder Vasbert Drakes has been appointed as the new coach of the UAE cricket team.
"Drakes will replace Kabir Khan as the next coach. Khan wanted to attend a Level-4 coaching course in Scotland and had stepped down," said Mazhar Khan, the administrator of the Emirates Cricket Board.
