Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens has been charged by the International Cricket Council for failing to report a corrupt approach.

The incident is alleged to have happened back in February while the 37-year-old was playing for the Dhaka Gladiators in the Bangladesh Premier League.

Stevens said in an official statement: "I have not been involved in any corrupt activity and have not been charged with any and I am cooperating with the ICC and ACSU (Anti-Corruption and Security Unit) in their investigation and prosecution of the corruption charges in matters relating to the BPL.

"I am totally against any corruption in cricket and would never do anything other than perform to the best of my ability in any game. ICC have not suspended me from playing and I remain willing and able to play for Kent in all fixtures if selected."

Stevens joined Kent in 2005 following a seven-year association with Leicestershire.
