Karachi, Apr 14: Pakistan Cricket Board today slapped bans on umpires Nadeem Ghouri and Anis Siddiqui for four and three years respectively after finding them guilty of corruption in an expose by India TV last year.




The two umpires were found guilty of agreeing to extend undue favours for material gains in the sting operation carried out by India TV in October last. The PCB's integrity committee headed by chairman Zaka Ashraf took the decision today.

Ghouri is an international umpire and has officiated in Test matches while Siddiqui is a first class umpire.

“We are committed on creating awareness amongst our players and officials with regards to the possible pitfalls,” Ashraf said in a statement.

Ghouri, also a former Test spinner who has worked on the ICC international panel and has 13 years of umpiring experience, was not immediately available for comments but both umpires appeared before the committee in Lahore today to give their version of the story.
