Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq was banned for 20 months from the International League T20 (ILT20) for allegedly breaching contract obligations. The pacer was a part of the Sharjah Warriors in the league. Issuing a statement on Monday, the league banned Haq for 20 months, noting that it was due to the norms of the contract not being followed.
Naveen-ul-Haq banned for 20 months from ILT20
Naveen played for Sharjah Warriors in Season 1 of the ILT20 (January-February 2023) who earlier this year sent him a retention notice on the same terms and conditions in accordance with the Player Agreement terms.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.
CEO DP World ILT20 David White: “We do not take pride in making this announcement but all parties are expected to comply with their contractual commitments and recognize that non-compliance can cause damage to the other party. Unfortunately, Naveen-ul-Haq failed to honour his contractual obligations with the Sharjah Warriors and as such the league had no option but to impose this 20-month ban on him.
“The disciplinary proceedings against Naveen were conducted in a transparent manner and both parties involved were given opportunities to prepare and present their submissions.”
