West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels has been found guilty of breaching regulations after a probe into allegations of links with a bookmaker.

Samuels, 27, could face a minimum two-year ban if the International Cricket Council enforces a mandatory ban.

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said Samuels had "received money, benefit or other reward which could bring him or the game into disrepute".

Samuels denied giving out any information to a bookmaker.

The committee looked into charges that Jamaican Samuels passed on team information to a bookmaker during a one-day series in India in January 2007.

Samuels was allowed to play in the World Cup while investigations continued.

A second charge that Samuels had "directly or indirectly...engaged in conduct prejudicial to the interests of the game" was dismissed.

The committee, which will now pass on its findings to the ICC, said they would prefer for Samuels not to face a ban, recommending a suspended sentence on account of Samuels's good behaviour.

Samuels was also suspended from bowling in January after independent analysis of his action revealed his off-break and faster deliveries exceeded the 15 degrees level of tolerance permitted under regulations.
