Two United Arab Emirates players have been found guilty of breaching the ICC's anti-corruption code.

Mohammad Naveed and Shaiman Anwar tried to fix matches in the T20 World Cup qualifier event in 2019.

They have also been reprimanded for failing to report "approaches and invitations" to illegally influence matches.

Punishments for the pair have yet to be confirmed, but five-year bans for a first offence looms for both players.

Naveed has also been found guilty of similar offences relating to the Abu Dhabi T10 League.

Qadeer Ahmed, Ashfaq Ahmed and Aamir Hayat remain banned by the ICC for also breaching the regulations around corruption.

The hearing into the cases concerning Naveed and Anwar included evidence from two unnamed individuals.

They alleged that the players had made offers to fix matches during the World Cup qualifying event against Oman, Ireland and one other undisclosed opponent.

Ex-UAE skipper Naveed offered to concede a specific number of runs while bowling. Anwar, meanwhile, would score a low amount of runs in the fourth and fifth overs of the batting innings.

The players agreed to a fee of 100,000 AED (£19,000) for the first offence, 500,000 AED (£99,000) for the second and one million dirhams (£198,000) for the third.

The players were suspended by the ICC on the eve of the tournament in October 2019, with the independent hearing taking place last November.
