Pakistan's former captain Rameez Raja said the latest bans will serve as a warning to future players.
"It will go a long way towards putting the fear of God in all Pakistan cricketers and cricketers of the world, that cheating doesn't pay and rogues have no place in this beautiful game," said Rameez.
Many believe Pakistan missed the chance to purge cricket after a match-fixing inquiry led by judge Malik Mohammad Qayyum between 1998-2000 saw Salim Malik and Ata-ur Rehman banned for life. Six other players ufffd Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Saeed Anwar and Akram Raza ufffd were fined.
"I conducted a judicial inquiry which could have served as a way to purge our cricket but my recommendations to keep close eyes on Pakistan players were now followed," Qayyum said recently.
