LONDON (AFP): West Indies star Marlon Samuels faces a two-year suspension after being found guilty of corruption. The West Indies Cricket Board’s decision to ban the batsman after finding he had illegally colluded with a bookmaker was rubber-stamped at an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting on Tuesday.
