Nadir Shah (umpire)

Nadir Shah is a Pakistani cricket umpire. He is primarily known for officiating in domestic Pakistani cricket and international matches involving Pakistan, often at the Associate level. While he has stood in a limited number of international matches, including ODIs and T20Is, his career has been marked by controversies and suspensions.

Shah's international umpiring career began in the late 2000s. However, his progress was significantly hampered by allegations of corruption. In 2012, he was suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following reports alleging that he was willing to fix matches. This suspension was later lifted after an investigation, but further allegations surfaced, leading to another suspension.

The controversies surrounding Nadir Shah have significantly impacted his career trajectory, preventing him from consistently officiating at the highest levels of international cricket. His appearances have been sporadic, and his reputation has been tarnished by the accusations of corruption.
