USA cricketer Aaron Jones faces serious disciplinary action after authorities charged him with breaching the anti-corruption codes of Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC). As a result, officials suspended him from all forms of cricket with immediate effect.
According to the ICC website, Jones has 14 days to respond to the five charges levelled against him.
Charges Stem from Bim10 Tournament
