Mohammed Naveed, 33, a bowler, and Shaiman Anwar, 41, a batsman, were found guilty on all charges after appearing before a tribunal.

Both players, who were provisionally suspended two days before the tournament was due to begin, were found guilty of breaking two articles of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code.

Naveed and Anwar were both charged with "being party to an agreement or effort to fix or contrive or otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspects of a match or matches” at the T20 qualifying tournament.

The pair were also both charged with "failing to disclose to the anti-corruption unit full details of any approaches or invitations received to engage in corrupt conduct under the ICC Code."

The ICC say sanctions will be issued to the pair in due course.

Naveed was also charged with the same two offences in relation to matches played at the 2019 T10 League.

The United Arab Emirates finished seventh at the T20 World Cup qualification tournament, losing in the semi-final play-offs to eventual winners The Netherlands.

The seventh placed finish meant the United Arab Emirates just missed out on qualification for the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in India in October and November this year.

Originally the tournament was due to take place in 2020, however it has been postponed by 12 months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
