The Afghanistan board has stated that there were breaches of the ACB’s and ICC’s anti-corruption code during the second edition of the Kabul Premier League. 

"Janat was found guilty of violating Article 2.1.1 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code, which involves improper influence or efforts to fix the result, progress, conduct, or any other aspect of a match," the ACB said in a statement. 

Taking all breaches into consideration, the top-order batter has been handed a five-year ban from all cricket related activities. 

Janat has also admitted to taking the chargers and has also confessed his involvement in the activities.

He has played three Tests, 16 ODIs, and one T20I for Afghanistan, scoring 110, 307 and 20 runs respectively.
