The 32-year-old admitted three charges of failing to disclose that he was “approached to engage in corrupt conduct”, receiving an iPhone as a gift and not cooperating with the investigation after being charged by the ICC in September.
“Mr [Nasir] Hossain has chosen to admit to the charges and has agreed to the sanction in the place
of an Anti-Corruption Tribunal hearing,” the ICC said in a statement. “Subject to him satisfying the conditions in respect of the suspended part of the sanction, he will be free to resume international cricket on 7 April 2025.”
Nasir Hossain, who has played 19 tests and 65 one day internationals for Bangladesh, has not represented his country since 2018.
