Two Zimbabwean players suspended for drug use
Zimbabwe international cricketers Wessly Madhevere and Brandon Mavuta have been suspended after testing positive for recreational drugs.
Both players featured earlier this month against Ireland but have been banned with immediate effect from all cricket activities pending a disciplinary hearing.
Madhevere and Mavuta returned positives during a recent in-house doping test. Madhevere, 23, has played two Tests, 36 one-day internationals and 60 T20s; Mavuta, 26, in four Tests, 12 ODIs and 10 T20 internationals.
The two suspensions come after head coach Dave Houghton resigned on Wednesday over Zimbabwe's failure to reach next year's T20 World Cup, saying he had "lost the changing room".
