both madhevere

T20 World Cup: Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) announced on Thursday that it has suspended two men’s international players from all cricket activities with immediate effect for recreational drug use.

The concerned players, Wessly Madhevere and Brandon Mavuta, both tested positive for a banned recreational drug in an out-of-competition case recorded during a recent in-house doping test.

ZC added that pending a hearing for breaching anti-doping rules, the duo will not be a part of cricketing activities. “They have been charged under the ZC Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials and will appear for a disciplinary hearing soon,” it said.
