“This ban is appropriate and should send a clear message to players and corruptors that attempts to corrupt our sport will be dealt with harshly,” Alex Marshall, general manager of the ICC’s Integrity Unit, said in a statement.
To avoid serving the suspended 18 months, Thomas must offer witness statements and testimony in an ongoing inquiry and not commit subsequent violations, according to the ACU’s official ruling.
