Tony Deyal, corporate secretary of the West Indies Cricket Board, has disclosed that the special investigator’s probe has already been completed.

“The investigator has submitted a final report to the WICB, and it will be considered when the directors meet on February 24,” Deyal told the CMC Sports Wire yesterday.

“The investigation has been completed, but the directors will have to consider the findings of the report, and then determine if there is enough evidence to warrant a hearing of the disciplinary committee.”

Last October, the International Cricket Council, the sport’s World governing body, had asked the WICB to investigate Samuels after it received a report from its anti-corruption and security unit.
