2019 Cricket World Cup

Afghanistan fast bowler Aftab Alam suspended for one year

During the course of the World Cup, Alam was sent back home, and an official release mentioned that it was done 'in exceptional circumstances'. However, it later emerged that he was sent home following allegations of serious misbehaviour with a female guest at the team hotel in Southampton.
