Bangladeshi umpire Nadir Shah has been banned for 10 years having been found guilty of corruption.

Shah was accused along with fellow umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat following an Indian TV sting operation during the 2012 ICC World Twenty20, which appeared to show him accepting money to make decisions in upcoming matches.

The operation, which began in October, ruled that Shah was guilty of the charges, resulting in the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) handing him the ban.

"The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) conducted a detailed inquiry into allegation of corruption brought on by satellite television channel India TV against match officials who had been under the retainership of the Board," read a statement on the BCB website.

"The investigation was conducted by a Special Committee which recently submitted its findings and recommendations to the BCB. Based on that report the BCB has decided to take the following measures that would come into effect immediately:

"1. Umpire Nadir Shah will not be considered for BCB retainership for 10 (ten) years. During this period he will not be eligible for any assignment under the jurisdiction of the BCB.

"2. Umpire Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat has been cleared of any form of misconduct. He is now eligible to undertake match officiating assignments/duties under the BCB's jurisdiction.

"The inquiry underlines the BCB's zero tolerance policy on corruption in the game and signifies the Board's commitment towards upholding the spirit of cricket."

Mr Saikat was cleared of his charges.
