He also attended at least three anti-corruption education sessions in which players were reminded of their obligations to report any approaches by corrupters."It was disappointing to note that he did not report any of the approaches. Although he was cooperative when interviewed and expressed remorse, it is only appropriate that he be banned so that a strong message goes out to other players and potential corrupters," he added.Meanwhile, Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) acknowledged the efforts of the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit investigation, findings and sanctioning involving one of its suspended players -- Ghulam Shabbir."Emirates Cricket remains firm in its stance denouncing any activities of corruption and those undertaken by the players in this anti-corruption case," ECB said in a statement."As mentioned in previous communications, now that the findings have been made final and sanctions have been laid against all players, Emirates Cricket Board will be making no further comment on this specific case and consider the matter closed," it added.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
