"Rizwan Javed has received a lengthy ban from cricket for his repeated and serious attempts to corrupt professional cricketers," ICC General Manager Integrity, Alex Marshall said in an ICC statement.

"The sanction imposed should send a strong message to other corrupters trying to target cricket at any level and demonstrates that any attempt to corrupt cricket will be strongly dealt with."

Abu Dhabi T10, approved by the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), was launched in 2017

Rizwan is among eight players and officials charged by the ICC on behalf of the ECB in September last year.

He was also charged with offering rewards to induce corrupt conduct (Article 2.1.3), and failing to disclose full details of approaches received to engage in corrupt conduct (Article 2.4.4).

Additionally, he was charged with failing or refusing, without compelling justification, to cooperate with any investigation (Article 2.4.6).

Rizwan by failing to respond to the charges, was deemed guilty of the offences and waived his right to a hearing.
