Odumbe hearing begins on Tuesday

The charge relates to an alleged breach of the ICC8217;s Code of Conduct for players and team officials and follows an investigation by the ICC8217;s Anti Corruption and Security Unit.

The ICC said Justice Ahmed Ebrahim would preside over the hearing as adjudicator and each party would have the opportunity to put forward evidence and call witnesses during the course of the hearing which is expected to last five days. If found guilty, the player can face penalties ranging from a suspension for a minimum of two years to a ban for life depending upon the nature of the charge.

The full hearing follows a preliminary hearing in Nairobi in May at which Ebrahim determined that there was a case to answer against Odumbe.
