Bangladesh have banned Nadir Shah, who umpired in 40 one-day internationals between 2006-11, for 10 years for corruption. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) handed out the punishment on Monday following an investigation by a special inquiry committee.
In October, the Hindi-language news channel India TV showed footage of Shah and other officials from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan allegedly negotiating deals with under-cover reporters to affect the outcome of matches.
"Umpire Nadir Shah will not be considered for a BCB retainer for 10 years," the Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement.
"During this period he will not be eligible for any assignment under the jurisdiction of the BCB."
Shah, a member of the International Cricket Council's (ICC) panel of umpires, also officiated in three Twenty20 internationals.
