Nasir Hossain-led Pune Devils' batting coach Ashar Zaidi, and team co-owners Parag Sanghavi and Krishan Kumar Choudhary have been accused by the ICC of involvement in corruption during the 2021 Abu Dhabi T10 Cricket League.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement that Zaidi was banned from all forms of cricket for five years, while Sanghavi and Choudhary were each banned for two years after admitting their offences under the Code.
Zaidi, Sanghavi, and Choudhary were among eight individuals charged by the ICC in September 2023 on behalf of the ECB as the DACO for the tournament.
The captain of Pune Devils and Bangladesh cricketer Nasir was also found guilty and handed a two-year ban earlier this year.
Nasir will be free to resume international cricket on April 7, 2025, provided he meets the conditions for the remaining part of the sanction.
