But in a shocking turn of events, The Afghanistan Cricket Board is prematurely calling off the APL, Season 2 and that poses a serious financial and legal threat for the Cricket Board of over 10 million US$ ( 78,2500000 AFN ).
There were already speculations about the termination of contract with an Indian company, Snixer Sports by current CEO, Mr. Lutfullah, without a consultation with other members of the Board.
Now if the team owners and stakeholders in the APL sue ACB, the latter might not be able to finance the litigation. According to sources with ACB, Snixer Sports has already sent a legal notice to ACB over their action to which the board is yet to reply.
According to reports, there were allegations of misconduct by few ACB officials and stakeholders in the previous league and the same is under inquiry with ICC. This, in turn can prove fatal for exiting player contracts as well and for their cricketing future.
One of the senior officials from Snixer Sports blamed the Afghanistan Cricket Board and said,
Cricket means a lot to the people of Afghanistan and over recent years, the country has produced many talented players like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Asghar Afghan.
With the ACB still not over the Mohammad Shahzad issue at the World Cup, ACB’s liability can dent a permanent damage into the country’s finances and repute in international arena and cricket in Particular.
