6.6AParticipantwho is subject to a period of Ineligibility shall remain subject to this Anti-Corruption Codeand the anti-corruption rules of all National Cricket Federationsduring that period.

Should any fine and/or costs award (or agreed part-payment or instalment thereof) not be paid to the ICCwithin such deadline or by the time of the next agreed payment date, then, unless the ICCagrees otherwise, the Participantmay not play, coach or otherwise participate or be involved in any capacity in any Matchuntil such payment has been satisfied in full.
