LAUDERHILL, Florida (Reuters) – West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels marked his return from a two-year suspension with a half-century for Jamaica against the United States on Saturday and said he was targeting a return to the international scene.
Samuels, 29, was banned in 2008 for passing on team information to a bookmaker during a one-day series in India in January 2007.
“After 735 days to be back playing the game that I love to get fifty today was wonderful. I have had a wonderful welcome from the Jamaican team and it is so good to be back,” he told Reuters at the Lauderhill cricket ground in Florida.
