"Both Amir and Ashfaq had played cricket at the highest level for long enough to understand the threat from match fixers," said Alex Marshall, ICC General Manager - Integrity Unit.

 

"The two UAE players, attended several ICC anti-corruption education sessions, and knew how to avoid becoming involved in any corrupt activity. They failed in these obligations and let down their teammates and everyone involved in UAE Cricket, in their adopted country," added Marshall.

 

"Their lengthy ban should serve as a warning to others," he said.
