Two UAE Cricketers found guilty of trying to fix matches, suspended by ICC

United Arab Emirates (UAE) players Mohammad Naveed and Shaiman Anwar Butt were on Tuesday (January 26) suspended by the ICC after they were found guilty of trying to fix matches during the T20 World Cup qualifier in 2019.

Former UAE captain Naveed and top-order batsman Shaiman were found guilty of two offences each under the ICC Anti-Corruption Code after they exercised their right to a hearing before a tribunal

“The pair remain suspended and sanctions will follow in due course,” the ICC said in a statement following a hearing by an independent Anti-Corruption Tribunal.
