ICC Suspends West Indies Player, Franchise Owner and Official Over Bim10 Corruption Charges

The case stems from the 2023–24 Bim10 in Barbados under CWI rules, part of a broader inquiry that earlier charged USA batter Aaron Jones.

Overview

  • Javon Searles, Titans owner Chitranjan Rathod and team official Trevon Griffith were charged with breaches of anti-corruption codes tied to the Bim10 tournament.
  • All three are provisionally barred from all cricket with immediate effect and have 14 days from March 11, 2026 to respond.
  • Shared allegations include fixing or attempting to improperly influence matches, soliciting others to engage in corrupt conduct, and failing to cooperate with investigators.
  • Searles and Griffith also face counts for failing to report corrupt approaches to Cricket West Indies.
  • Griffith faces an additional ICC-code charge linked to international matches for allegedly obstructing the ACU’s investigation; Rathod faces three charges, Searles four, and Griffith four under the CWI code plus one under the ICC code.
