As part of their rehabilitation, Madhavre and Mavut were ordered to be trained under the ZC's high performance program. He was also fined 50% of his salary for three months starting from January 2024.
Both players have approved drug tests conducted after their suspension ends.
The 17-year-old Legspin-Bauling all-rounder said in ZC's statement, “It started something that I was taking for fun and then it happened something that I was addicted.” “I could not sleep and most of the time I was damaged and I was running to take marijuana … I regret it. This is really a lesson for me.
“it [the suspension] It has really been like a blessing in disguise because I had to spend more time to focus on my game and now I'm fitter and strong. I can advise people, youth or fellow players, this is the worst thing – taking drugs – because it affects you in a long time and once you become [addicted]It will be very difficult for you to bring it back.
“I'm hungry, I'm firm to bounce back and bounceback I'm going to be bigger than before i have been in high performance [programme] For those four months. ,
The 23-year-old top-order batsman, Madhavre said, “The lesson I have taken is that I should not take anything, because your actions will always have results.
“I think if you respect whatever you are doing, whether it is a job or something, it will help you make better decisions. Even if it may seem about fun and accessories, if you take it lightly then you will be over as a drug addict.
“Just know that there will be results and if you know it will help you make better decisions.”
Madhavre and Mavuta last played for Zimbabwe during their home series against Ireland in December 2023. He also painted in a match in the Logan Cup for Mashonland Eagles and Mid West Rinos before his suspension in January.
JDC Managing Director Givmor Makoni said in a statement, “I am happy to welcome Vesley and Brandon back to competitive cricket, both of them passed and after rehabilitation and passed a drug test and did to check if they were now clean.” “Even more importantly, both the players accepted their mistakes and vow to focus on their very promising career as clean and cricketers.”
The Anti-Drags program operated by the ZC is voluntary and is different from the ICC and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WDA) obligations.
“Recognizing the dangers caused by entertaining drugs, JDC opted to go beyond ICC and WDA obligations by implementing the in-house drugs testing program due to recreational drugs,” said Maconi. “This is a very important initiative that should be designed to provide education, counseling and treatment, where suitable, for the rehabilitation of players who have joined with social medicines.”
