PCB investigates all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz for alleged recreational drug use
المصدر: Dawn | Source: DawnLAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday began an investigation into the alleged use of recreational drugs by spin-all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz.
A spokesperson for the cricket board said that after completing an investigation, it would inform the International Cricket Council (ICC) about the player’s medical history.
He added that until then, Nawaz would continue to represent Multan Sultans in the ongoing HBL Pakistan Super League.
Meanwhile, ESPNcricinfo reported a PCB spokesperson as saying that the results of this process would be communicated to the ICC on Wednesday. It also alleged that the player had tested positive for recreational drug use.
“ESPNcricinfo has learned that the positive result comes from testing during the T20 World Cup earlier this year,” the report added.
It further added that Nawaz’s deal to join Surrey for the T20 Blast — set to run from May 26 to July 18 — in England had fallen through as a result.
The report added that Surrey and ICC declined to comment on the matter.
