In Mumbai, just before the IPL 2024 auction, a star player, Afghanistan’s Naveen Ul Haq, of Lucknow Super Giants, received a 20-month ban for breaching a contract with Sharjah Warriors.
This ban bars him from ILT20’s 2024 season after he refused to participate in the previous one.

Naveen debuted in ILT20 with Sharjah Warriors in 2023 but declined to play the subsequent season, prompting a complaint from Sharjah Warriors that resulted in the ban.
Additionally, Naveen announced retirement from ODI cricket after the World Cup.
In IPL 2023, a clash between Virat Kohli and Naveen Ul Haq stirred controversy, involving an argument with Gautam Gambhir.
However, during the World Cup, Virat resolved their dispute without hostility.
