Lou Vincent came clean by issuing a video statement which begins: "My name is Lou Vincent and I am a cheatâ€.
His admission pre-empted an announcement later in the day from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), confirming Vincent had been banned for life following an investigation that crossed several countries and many different competitions.
He pleaded guilty to 18 match-fixing or spot-fixing charges involving matches he played for English counties Lancashire in 2008 and Sussex in 2011. Eleven of the 18 offences carried life bans.
Vincent admitted involvement in fixing in 12 separate competitions across five countries, including in English county cricket, the Indian Cricket League and the 2012 Champions Trophy.
He has previously been banned for three years by Bangladesh for not reporting an approach to fix matches while playing in that country's Twenty20 league.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
