Nabekavu has refused to participate in the Vodafone/ Bank of Baroda sponsored Vanua Levu Muslim Inter-District Championship at Subrail Park in Labasa.

This was after team captain Imtiaz Begg was suspended by the organising committee on September 15.

“Imtiaz  received a suspension letter stating that he has been found to act contrary to the role of a player as per the rules of the tournament,”Nabekavu team manager Maqsum Begg said.

“The letter stated that the player is suspended from all this level and he is instructed not to enter into the tournament premises.”

Meanwhile, Macuata Muslim League president Hazeem Hussein confirmed that Imtaiz was suspended because he swore at the organising committee via viber before the tournament.

“We contacted Imtiaz to reconcile but unfortunately it did not turn out well last Sunday,” Hussein said.

“This is a faith based organisation and we do not condone such behaviour.”
