The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is likely to set up a committee to hold an inquiry against the cricketer. It is pertinent to mention here that Shahzad had undergone dope test during domestic matches.
In a press statement, PCB said: “A player has reportedly tested positive for a prohibited substance. But under ICC rules PCB cannot name the player or chargesheet him until the chemical report is confirmed by the Anti-Dope Agency of the government. We should have an answer in a day or two.”
West Indian cricketer Andre Russell was banned from cricket for one year after being found guilty of a doping violation in his native Jamaica last year. India all-rounder Yusuf Pathan was handed a five-month retroactive suspension for failing a dope test, a sanction which ended on January 14 this year, after the BCCI accepted that the violation was inadvertent.
