Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen Ul Haq's IPL participation came under serious doubts after the Afghanistan Cricket Board decided to immediately cancel their NOCs following the cricketers' attempt to opt out of the central contracts and prioritise franchise leagues across the globe. India's Rohit Sharma and Afghanistan's Naveen Ul Haq "The Afghanistan Cricket Board has decided to delay the 2024 annual central contracts for national players, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazal Haq Farooqi, and Naveen Ul Haq Mureed. Additionally, the Board has opted not to grant them No Objection Certificates for the next two years following their intention to be released from their annual central contracts," the ACB said in a release. A committee member stated: “The three players formally communicated their decision to the ACB, expressing their desire to release themselves from the annual central contract, starting from 1st January 2024, as well as requested to consider their consent for their participation in the national events.” After investigation, the committee presented the following recommendations to the ACB’s top management: Not Awarding Central Contracts: Starting from January 1, 2024, the three players shall not be eligible for the central contract for one year.
