Jan 29 (Reuters) - ‌United States batter Aaron Jones ‌has been provisionally suspended after ‌being charged with multiple breaches of the International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption code, the governing ‍body said on Wednesday.

The ‍31-year-old has 14 ‌days to respond to the charges, ‍which relate ​mostly from his participation in the 2023-24 ⁠Bim10 tournament in Barbados, while two of ‌the charges relate to international cricket, ⁠the ICC ‍added.

USA Cricket did not immediately respond to a request for comment ‍outside normal business hours.

Jones ‌was part of an 18-member U.S. squad training in Sri Lanka in preparation for the T20 World Cup, scheduled from February 7 to March 8 in India and Sri ‌Lanka.

The U.S. has yet to announce its squad for the tournament, with Jones ​now ineligible for selection.
