The Sydney Thunder have terminated their deal with Afghanistan left-arm pace bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi after a 'behaviour' incident triggered an investigation by Cricket Australia's Integrity Unit.
The Thunder said the club received a complaint about the behaviour of Farooqi following an incident on Thursday, December 15, and referred it to CA for investigation.
Following that investigation, and a subsequent hearing and ruling by a CA Code of Conduct commissioner, the Thunder have decided to terminate Farooqi's contract.
Farooqi had already played one match for the Thunder – taking 2-20 and making a first-ball duck with the bat – before the incident took place.
Cricket NSW CEO Lee Germon said: "The behaviours displayed by Fazalhaq Farooqi sit outside our values and it was determined that his contract be terminated.
"Our focus now is providing the necessary support to those affected by this incident."
Farooqi played three more matches for the Thunder between the incident and today's announcement his contract would be torn up.
