Dubai, Dec 18: Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq was on Monday handed a 20-month ban from participating in the International League T20 for breaching his Player Agreement with Sharjah Warriors. Naveen had signed up for the Warriors for the opening season of the tournament. He was offered another year’s extension but refused to sign the retention notice for Season 2.
Sharjah Warriors approached the ILT20 to intervene in this dispute. The ILT20 first initiated a mediation process through an independent third-party mediator. However, the mediation failed.
The ILT20’s three-member Disciplinary Committee conveyed its final verdict of a 20-month ban on Naveen. (PTI)
