But this ban is not imposed on IPL but on International League T20, whose second season has recently ended. Let us tell you that this ban has been imposed on 19-year-old Noor Ahmed by the league's disciplinary committee due to violation of the players' contract.

It is noteworthy that Noor Ahmed plays for Sharjah Warriors in the tournament, but when the franchise asked him to sign the retention paper for the upcoming season, he did not sign it. After this, instead of playing in the second season of International League T20, he was seen playing for Durban Super Giants in SA20.
