Devon Thomas, the West Indies batter, has been suspended from cricket pending a corruption investigation that includes his involvement in the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10.

The ICC announced on Tuesday he has been charged with seven counts of breaching the sport’s anti-corruption code and provisionally suspended with immediate effect.

The 33-year-old Antiguan first played for the West Indies in 2009, and returned for an extended run in the T20 side last year, when he also made a Test debut against Australia.

One of the seven charges is for “failing to disclose to the designated anti-corruption official, without unnecessary delay, full details of an approach,” to engage in corrupt activity at the Abu Dhabi T10 2021.
