US cricketer Aaron Jones, a key player in the 2024 T20 World Cup, has been provisionally suspended by the ICC on January 29, 2026, for allegedly breaching the anti-corruption code.

Jones is accused of fixing or attempting to fix matches, obstructing the investigation, and failing to disclose attempts to violate anti-corruption codes. He has 14 days to respond to the charges and is now ineligible for selection in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. The ICC indicated that this is part of a wider investigation, with further charges expected against other participants.
