Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has banned pacer Aftab Alam for a period of one year from domestic and International cricket for violating disciplinary code of conduct.
Earlier midway through the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 tournament, Alam was sent back home, and an official release mentioned that it was done ‘in exceptional circumstances’
Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) later clarified that Alam has been sent back home following his breach of ICC’s disciplinary code of conduct but didn’t elaborate on what the breach exactly was. An enquiry was launched back home following his ouster from the showpiece event, and the result of that is the 12-month long ban. During this period, his contract with the ACB also stands suspended.
Alam’s last appearance at the World Cup came against India in Southampton, where he is reported to have misbehaved with a woman in the team hotel. Alam had three wickets to his name at the World Cup before he was summoned back home.
