More trouble for Samuels

Published March 2, 2008

KINGSTON (Jamaica), March 1: Within a week when he was banned from bowling due to an unlawful action, Marlon Samuels is set for more problems with the news that an inside West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) investigation into bribery allegations has discovered there is sufficient evidence to charge him with misconduct.

“He (Samuels) has been charged and the matter referred to the disciplinary committee,” WICB spokesman Tony Deyal said, declining to give the details of the probe, which was carried out by Jamaican attorney Derek Jones.

“We are working on getting copies of all the documents to the committee so they can read them and call a hearing.”

Phone conversations between Samuels and an alleged Indian bookie were taped by the Nagpur police on the eve of the one-day game between India and the West Indies in Nagpur on Jan 21, 2007.—Agencies
