The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the punishment, stating their anti-corruption tribunal had found him quality of all charges.

Latif, as well as being handed a five-year ban, will be made to pay a fine of PKR1 million (£7,000/$9,500/€7,900).

The 31-year-old has played five one-day internationals and 13 Twenty20 internationals for Pakistan.

His sanction related to an ongoing investigation into corruption during the Pakistan Super League season.

The PCB have stated that sanction relates to a match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi on February 9 in Dubai.

They found him guilty of trying to "fix aspects of the match", as well as a breach of codes surrounding betting and "seeking and agreeing to accept bribe" regarding the tie.

"There are cases you don't feel happy winning, because it's unfortunate to see a player being banned," the PCB's legal advisor Taffazul Rizvi said, according to ESPN.

“But he is responsible for tarnishing his own career, and all fixing allegations against him have been proved."

Latif has been playing for the Islamabad United team since 2016, with his fellow batsman Sharjeel Khan also receiving a five-year ban last month.

Half of Khan's ban has been suspended.

All-rounder Mohammad Nawaz and bowler Mohammad Irfan have both received sanctions as part of the ongoing investigation.

Nawaz was given a two-month sanction, while Irfan was handed a longer one-year ban.

Both men were found to have failed to report suspicious approaches.

While Latif has received the largest sanction to date, the batsman avoided the prospect of receiving a life ban from the sport.

The sanctions come as the PCB continue to look into spot-fixing allegations involving several players during the second season of the Pakistan Super League, a domestic Twenty20 competition.

Spot-fixing is where the outcome of a particular passage of play is pre-determined, rather than attempting to fix the outcome of a match.
