What's the story

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has provisionally suspended West Indian batter Devon Thomas for trying to fix matches.

Notably, the 33-year-old has been slapped with seven charges.

The charges are under ICC's anti-corruption code, and the board has found Thomas guilty under these charges.

The WI batter has 14 days to respond against the same.

Here are further details.

Context

Why does this story matter?

The ICC is strict about upholding the integrity of the sport all over the world. Therefore, the ICC Anti-corruption Unit (ACU) aims to provide a well-coordinated capability to protect the sport.

Like Thomas, there have been many issues in the past, and the board has worked diligently to nullify these threats.

The ICC has set some standards, which must be met by all parties.
