Aaron Jones charged under anti-corruption code; provisionally suspended from all cricket

USA batter Aaron Jones has been charged with five breaches of the anti-corruption codes of Cricket West Indies (CWI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The charges largely stem from alleged incidents during Barbados' Bim10 tournament in the 2023-24 season, which comes under the jurisdiction of the CWI Anti-Corruption Code. Two of the five charges also relate to international matches and fall under the ICC's Anti-Corruption Code.

Under the CWI Code, Jones has been charged with:

• Fixing or attempting to fix aspects of matches in the Bim10 tournament.
• Failing to disclose approaches to engage in corrupt conduct.
• Failing to cooperate with a reasonable investigation.

The ICC has charged Jones with:

• Failing to disclose full details of approaches to engage in corrupt conduct to its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU).
• Obstructing an ACU investigation by allegedly concealing or tampering with information.

The charges form part of a wider investigation, with the ICC indicating that further charges against other individuals may follow. Jones has been provisionally suspended from all forms of cricket with immediate effect. He has 14 days from January 28, 2026, to respond to the charges.

The 31-year-old Jones has played 100 internationals (52 ODIs, 48 T20Is) for the USA. He was last in action at the Abu Dhabi T10 league in November 2025.
