"Meanwhile, ... Marlon Samuels was charged Wednesday with breaching four counts of the ICC’s anti-corruption code...

The charges against Samuels, who hasn’t played for West Indies since 2018, relate to the T10 League in Abu Dhabi, the International Cricket Council said, without giving any dates.
...

In 2008, Samuels ... received a two-year ban from the ICC after being caught on tape passing on match-related information to an Indian bookmaker during West Indies’ ODI series in India."

"Former Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor has been banned from all cricket for three-and-a-half years by the ICC's anti-corruption unit for failing to report an approach from alleged corruptors without delay. In a release on Friday, the ICC said Taylor has accepted the ban, which starts from January 28. Taylor has also accepted one charge of breaching the doping code - relating to a dope test he failed in his last international game last year. He tested positive for cocaine."
