Nadir Shah, who has stood in 40 one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals, was one of six umpires caught in the undercover investigation, including three from Sri Lanka and two from Pakistan.

Bangladesh Cricket Board has constituted a three-member committee to investigate into the allegations of fixing T20 matches by umpires as claimed by a television sting operation, a report said on Monday.

The recent sting operation, where an Indian TV channel shows umpires willing to fix decisions in leagues like the Sri Lankan Premier League, might have stung the world of cricket but it does not show any money exchanging hands and no evidence of the umpires actually doing what they agreed to do.

Former ICC elite panel umpire Darrell Hair is not at all surprised by the allegations of fixing against match officials, and said such rumours started doing rounds since the birth of the cash-rich Indian Premier League.

Umpires at the centre of a bribery scandal denied on Tuesday they were willing to fix matches for cash as cricket authorities announced an urgent probe into the allegations aired in a television sting.
