The CAS in its ruling earlier this year set the ban period at 12-months but imposed a fine of 4.2 million rupees on Umar after finding him guilty of breaching the Anti-Corruption code.

Umar, who remained suspended from all cricket activities from February 2020 and completed his ban two months back, also paid the fine in full to PCB after the board earlier rejected his request to pay the fine in installments.

Umar was charged for two breaches of Article 2.4.4 of the PCB Anti-Corruption Code in two unrelated incidents that took place in Lahore before the Pakistan Super League 5 began in Karachi on February 20.

Umar's two elder bothers, Kamran and Adnan have also both played Test and International cricket for the country.
