The ICC says West Indies batsman Devon Thomas has been banned from cricket for five years after admitting seven breaches of anti-corruption regulations.
The ICC said the final 18 months of the ban had been suspended, with the punishment backdated by a year.
Thomas, capped 34 times across all three international formats from 2009 to 2022, committed offences in three separate tournaments — the Caribbean Premier League, the Sri Lanka Premier League and the Abu Dhabi T10.
The most serious of those charges saw the 34-year-old Thomas accept he was guilty of contriving to be party to match-fixing attempts in the Sri Lanka-based tournament.
He also admitted several offences of failing to report illegal approaches to the authorities.
