Wessly Madhevere and Brandon Mavuta cleared to play competitive cricket
Wessly Madhevere and Brandon Mavuta will be making their return to competitive cricket after being cleared to play by Zimbabwe Cricket, having served a four-month suspension imposed on them for drug use. Last year in December, both players tested positive for recreational drug use, in the aftermath of which both players were handed four-month suspension.
Additionally, both players were also fined 50% of their match fee for three months. They trained at ZC’s high-performance program as part of their rehabilitation.
"I am pleased to welcome Wessly and Brandon back to competitive cricket after both of them underwent rehabilitation and also passed a drug test carried out to check if they were now clean,” the ZC managing director Givemore Makoni said in a statement.
“More importantly, the two players acknowledged their mistakes and have vowed to stay clean and focus on their very promising careers as cricketers.”
"Recognising the dangers that recreational drugs may cause, ZC opted to go beyond the ICC and WADA obligations by implementing an in-house drugs testing programme. This is a very important initiative that should be hailed for providing education, counselling and treatment, where appropriate, to rehabilitate players who have become involved with social drugs."
