Karachi, June 21: Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has failed the dope test conducted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The PCB has confirmed a cricketer was found consuming banned but refrained from naming him.
However, it was later reported that it was the right-handed batsman who failed the dope test after smoking marijuana.
As per reports, the dope test was conducted during the Pakistan Cup which was held between April and May.
"A player has reportedly tested positive for a prohibited substance. But under ICC rules PCB cannot name the player or charge sheet 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," a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) media statement said on their Twitter handle on Wednesday.
