New Delhi: West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels has been banned for two years by the West Indies Cricket Board after he was found guilty of breaching regulations after a probe into allegations of having links with a bookmaker.

Samuels, 27, is now out of the game under a mandatory two-year ban which is effective from May 9 unless the International Cricket Council (ICC) offers him a reprieve.

The WICB said their disciplinary committee had found that Samuels had breached Level 4 of the ICC's Code of Conduct in that he "received money, benefit or other reward which could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute."
