Cricket: West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels has been found guilty of breaching regulations after a probe into allegations of links with a bookmaker. The 27-year-old could now face a two-year ban from the game if the International Cricket Council (ICC) enforces a mandatory ban. The WICB said their disciplinary committee had found that Samuels had breached ICC Rules of Conduct 4 in that he "received money, benefit or other reward which could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute". dismissed. The committee, which will now pass on its findings to the ICC, said they would prefer for Samuels not to face a ban but to be "bound over to be of good behaviour for a period not exceeding two years".
