ECB bans Usman Khan for five years
DUBAI (Dunya News) - The Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) on Friday imposed a ban of five years on right-handed batter Usman Khan from participating in tournaments hosted or sanctioned by the ECB.
Batter Usman Khan has been found to have breached his obligations owed to the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB).
After a detailed investigation, Usman was found to have misrepresented to ECB about his decision to play for the UAE team and has used the opportunities and development provided by the ECB to him to seek out other prospects and it was evident that he was no longer wanting to play for the ECB nor complete the eligibility criteria which he was under an obligation to do.
Usman participated in the ECB Sanctioned International League T20 Season 2 earlier this year in the UAE Category as a local player. The ECB also entered into an ECB Employment Contract with Usman for a period of one year. This was done to give him security and allow him to fulfil his eligibility criteria that would allow him to represent UAE in international cricket.
Usman is found to have breached his obligations owed to ECB and will therefore not be allowed to participate in ECB sanctioned tournaments/leagues as well as local events organized under the aegis of councils/academies in UAE for a period of five years.
