The reduction of the ban of the West Indies batsman Devon Thomas, aged 34, to five years in all forms of cricket has been announced by the ICC (International Cricket Council) on Thursday. This sanction was coupled with admitting that Thomas violated those seven counts of the anti-corruption codes laid out by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), and Caribbean Premier League (CPL), among others.
Devon Thomas Receives Five-Year Ban
At the age of 29, Devon Thomas played his first international match in 2009 and has featured in one Test match, 21 one-day internationals, and 12 Twenty20 internationals for the West Indies. His final day on the national team was in the middle of August 2022.
‘In his position as the Integrity Unit’s General Manager, Mr. Devon Thomas, the player who received macro anti-corruption education lessons, failed to live up to his responsibilities according to the recent anti-corruption codes of multiple franchise leagues’.
Mr. Marshall said. Marshall claimed that the integrity of cricket cannot and will never allow those who try to cheat the game to go away with it, so this ban serves as a warning of anti-corruption approaches to all players and those involved in the process of playing.

As per the provisions of the five-year limitation, there will be a one-year preclusion and an ineligibility period that starts on May 23, 2023, the date of the break suspension. These fines are the aftereffect of different disciplinary standards being broken, for example, controlling bowl, batting, and customs rate arrangements; hiding degenerate people’s methodologies, and blocking hostile to-defilement examinations.

What distinguishes this case is the fact that most of the allegations involved more than one league, as well as the Lanka Premier League 2021, the Abu Dhabi T10 2021, and the CPL 2021. The charges that have been brought against him include inadequate cooperation with analogs for fighting corruption, who were investigating his possible involvement with corruption.
