Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad has been banned for 12 month by UAE-based ILT20 league for failing to sign a retention agreement with Sharjah Warriors. Noor is the second Afghan player to be banned by the league after his countryman Naveen-ul-Haq. The ban was initially of 20 months but has been reduced to 12 on account of Noor being a minor at the time of signing the agreement.

According to an ILT20 statement, Noor was sent a retention notice on the "same terms and conditions in accordance with the Player Agreement terms" but after he refused to sign, Sharjah Warriors approached the league body. A hearing was held and the Afghan was handed a ban.

In first season, Noor played seven games for Warriors and took four wickets at an average of 37 and an economy of 7. The bowler instead joined SA20, just like Naveen did after not signing the retention with Warriors.

The ban comes after Naveen failed to sign the retention agreement with Sharjah Warriors - the side for which he played in 2023. The ban bars Naveen from taking part in two seasons, 2024 which is scheduled to played in January-February and 2025 as well.

The dispute arose after the Warriors, who had signed Naveen for the 2023 season, sent him a retention notice earlier this year but the Afghan refused to sign it, said a IT20 statement.

"We do not take pride in making this announcement but all parties are expected to comply with their contractual commitments and recognise that non-compliance can cause damage to the other party," ILT20 chief executive David White had said, who is also a member of the league's disciplinary committee.

Because of the current circumstances in the UAE, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan believes the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup would be dominated by spinners.

Afghanistan will play its first match in&nbsp;the T20 World Cup on October 25 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Rashid should have a field day bowling in Sharjah if the surfaces in the Indian Premier League (IPL) are any indication.

"Conditions here are always good for spinners and it should be a spinners'&nbsp;World Cup. Doesn't matter how wickets are prepared here, it is always helpful for the spinners. Spinners will play a huge role in this World Cup," Rashid told The Cricket Monthly.

"As we have seen in the IPL, spinners have brought back their team in the game. I feel that will be the same in the World Cup as well. The best spinners will bring their team back in the game and win it," he said.

Rashid had another good season finishing with&nbsp;18 wickets, the joint-highest for a spinner along with Yuzvendra Chahal and Varun Chakravarthy.

In&nbsp;response&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;question&nbsp;regarding&nbsp;spin,&nbsp;Rashid&nbsp;stated: "As long as you have a good total, if it is a slow track, skiddy, as a spinner it is very, very helpful because you can show your skills there and you can get the wickets. In this World Cup if you bat well, we [Afghanistan] can beat any side."
