Afghanistan Premier League

NEW DELHI: Snixer Sports, erstwhile commercial partners of the Afghanistan Cricket Board for the Afghanistan Premier League, has filed a $5 million damages claim against the ACB for "unfair termination" of contract in 2018.

The board last year postponed the 2019 edition of APL after the league's commercial partner failed to pay the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) rights money.

The board had terminated the agreement, citing concerns about the integrity of people associated with Snixer Sports.
