Devon Thomas

West Indies cricketer Devon Thomas has been charged with match fixing by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and has been provisionally banned from playing, the ICC announced on Tuesday.

Raymon Reifer, a 31-year-old all-rounder who has played one Test — against New Zealand in 2017 — was also included in the squad and veteran fast bowler Kemar Roach will be added if he recovers from an injury sustained in county cricket.

Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie was called up Tuesday by the West Indies for next month's one-day internationals against Bangladesh, while fast bowler Obed McCoy returns to the T20 squad after injury.

Devon Thomas, who represented the West Indies in 34 international matches spanning from 2009 to 2022, found himself embroiled in misconduct across multiple tournaments, including the Caribbean Premier League, the Lanka Premier League, and the Abu Dhabi T10. To account for the severity of his actions, the ICC imposed a five-year ban on Thomas, although the final 18 months of the penalty were suspended. This decision comes with retrospective effect, backdating Thomas's ban by one year.
