Former Sri Lanka player and coach Nuwan Zoysa has been banned from all cricket for six years by the International Cricket Council for corruption.
The ban is backdated to October 2018, when Zoysa was provisionally suspended.
A tribunal found Zoysa, who played for his country between 1997 and 2007 and had been working as a bowling coach, guilty of three breaches of the ICC anti-corruption code.
The first was "being party to an agreement or effort to fix or contrive or otherwise influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or other aspect(s) of an international match."
Zoysa was also found guilty of "directly or indirectly soliciting, inducing, enticing, instructing, persuading, encouraging or intentionally facilitating any participant" to do likewise, and of "failing to disclose to the ACU (anti-corruption unit) full details of any approaches or invitations received to engage in corrupt conduct under the code."
The 42-year-old has also been charged by the ICC on behalf of the Emirates Cricket Board with breaching three counts of its anti-corruption code for participants for the T10 League, with proceedings ongoing.
Alex Marshall, general manager of the ICC integrity unit, said in a statement released by the governing body: "Nuwan played 125 matches for Sri Lanka, attending a number of anti-corruption sessions during a decade-long international career.
"In his role as a national coach, he should have acted as a role model. Instead, he became involved with a corrupter and attempted to corrupt others.
"Contriving to fix a game betrays the basis of sporting principles. It will not be tolerated in our sport."
