NEW DELHI (Reuters) - United Arab Emirates (UAE) batsman Ashfaq Ahmed and pace bowler Amir Hayat have each been handed eight-year bans for breaching the anti-corruption code of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport's governing body said on Thursday.

An ICC anti-corruption tribunal backdated their bans to September last year when both players were suspended for attempting to fix matches and failing to report corrupt approaches during the T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 in the UAE.
