“ZC expects all contracted players to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, discipline and compliance with team protocols and anti-doping regulations,” it continued.<\/p>\n
“A review of Williams’ record indicates a history of disciplinary issues and repeated unavailability, which has impacted team preparations and performance.<\/p>\n
“While ZC commends him for seeking rehabilitation, withdrawal from team commitments under circumstances involving potential testing raises serious concerns regarding professional and ethical standards.”<\/p>\n
It said it was “not feasible” to continue his national contract when it runs out on 31 December.<\/p>\n
“Notwithstanding this, ZC sincerely acknowledges and appreciates his immense contribution to Zimbabwean cricket over the past two decades,” it added.<\/p>\n
“Williams has played a pivotal role in some of the most significant moments in our recent history, leaving a lasting legacy both on and off the field.<\/p>\n
“ZC wishes him strength in his recovery and every success in his future endeavours.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
