Good news.

BCB should file a case against him too and put him behind the bar so that no one should be brave enough to make such mistake in the future !

[Fazal]

Great news. I would ban him for life though. He is a disgrace for his family and disgrace for the country.

[mij]

Good he deserve it, lucky not to be in prison.

[BANFAN]

Should have been a life term due to his shameless attitude and disgracing the nation and it's institutes ... Modern day Razakar..

Ten years will Be equivalent to life term. Don't see him umpiring a cricket match again

This is just the beginning I believe. Shob chor to aar shohoje dhora khai na. Goto BPL e Mashrafe ke ku-prostab deya holo, ei BPL e match patanor alamot dekha gelo, tar upor Shah miah dhora khailo- sounds familiar. je somajer shorbostore durnity shekane kheladhula clean thakbe eta asha korai bokami. shudhu dhora khete jotodin laage aarki.

What about the part he went along with the undercover reporters' plan because he had felt "threatened"? I guess he can still appeal against it, unless he was lying in self defence. btw I cant digest this punishment with the figure, "10 years" bann also. It seems very less to me; if BCB is following ICC's anti-corruption code & conduct, imo it should be adviced for lifetime bann with imprisonment. c'mon, we aint punishing a mare drug dealer or spot fixer here, its an Umpire!, a sacred position equal to a supreme Judge in an on-game duration. A huge amount of trust issue & national image related with it.

Very good news. No place for these corrupt idiots in our cricket.

ICC Chief Executive David Richardson has made the following statement in respect of the decision of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) following an investigation into the cases of umpires Nadir Shah and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid Saikat after a sting operation by an Indian TV channel.

"Although the ICC was not directly involved in these cases, it notes the findings by the BCB in relation to Mr Shah and Mr Saikat, and notes the sanction imposed upon Mr Shah," said Mr Richardson.

"The ICC takes no pleasure from the fact that an umpire has been found to have acted inappropriately and sanctioned accordingly, however, the decision reflects the commitment of the ICC and its Members to root out corruption from our Great Sport.

"This decision also reiterates cricket's zero-tolerance approach towards corruption and should serve as a reminder to all stakeholders, be they umpires, players, curators or administrators of the risks and challenges the sport faces. We can only beat the corruptors by remaining vigilant and by following the procedures and protocols which are in place," he concluded.

Only for Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Pakistani umpires? What about Indian umpires?

He should have got life.
But then again, 10 years is a de-facto life for him.

What's really hyathetik is the fact that he didn't get the chance to actually steal anything before getting royally busted with his pants down. His brothers Badshah and Munna Shah are decent folks from what I know.

Decent article with a tone of surprise and sympathy on Daily Star about him. Hmm. Makes me think.

If Nadir Shah was in UK. He would definitely be in reality TV shows like "Celebrity Big Brother" or "I am a Celebrity, get me out of here"

Absolutely agree! Strike fear in their hearts.

[mij]

Watching above video doesn't this man have any shame? Talking about others when he been cought on video. look at the way he is talking.

[Modad]

light punishment. it needed to be a life ban & ten years in jail. similar verdict should also be handed to traitor enamul hauqe moni.

[kalpurush]

Good decision by BCB.

Now, investigate corruptions inside BCB and turn this organisation into the most transparent one in BD that other organisation can follow them as a role model.
