The International Cricket Council (ICC) backs the Bangladesh Cricket Board's decision to ban umpire Nadir Shah for 10 years after he was found guilty of corruption.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) have backed the decision to ban Bangladeshi umpire Nadir Shah for 10 years.

Shah was handed the ban having been found guilty of corruption by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) after an Indian TV sting operation during the ICC World Twenty20 last year. Another umpire, Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat, was also charged but found not guilty.

The ICC revealed that they were not directly involved with the sanction imposed by the BCB, but backed their decision.

"Although the ICC was not directly involved in these cases, it notes the findings by the BCB in relation to Mr Shah and Mr Saikat, and notes the sanction imposed upon Mr Shah," read a statement from ICC chief executive David Richardson.

"The ICC takes no pleasure from the fact that an umpire has been found to have acted inappropriately and sanctioned accordingly, however, the decision reflects the commitment of the ICC and its members to root out corruption from our great sport.

"This decision also reiterates cricket's zero-tolerance approach towards corruption and should serve as a reminder to all stakeholders, be they umpires, players, curators or administrators of the risks and challenges the sport faces. We can only beat the corruptors by remaining vigilant and by following the procedures and protocols which are in place."

Both Shah and Saikat denied the accusations.
