Former Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor has been banned from all cricket for three-and-a-half years by the ICC’s anti-corruption unit for failing to report an approach from alleged corruptors without delay.
In a media release on Friday, the ICC said Taylor has accepted the ban, which starts from January 28, and separately one charge of breaching the doping code.
In a statement on Twitter, Taylor had revealed that he had been filmed using cocaine during a meeting in India with alleged businessmen, who then used that video to allegedly blackmail him into an agreement to spot-fix.
Taylor, who will turn 36 next week, has since admitted himself into a rehabilitation clinic.
