Inzy undergoes dope test after warm up match

St. Augustine, Trinidad, Mar 7 (UNI) Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul -Haq and opener Imran Nazir were today dope-tested after their World Cup warm-up match against Canada.

This followed after ICC decision to 'target test' players for banned substances during the World Cup, underlining its zero tolerance policy against drug use by players after the doping scandal involving Pakistani pace duo of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif last year.

These target tests would be in addition to ICC's commitment to randomly test four players -- two from each side -- in 17 of the showpiece event's 51 matches.

The ICC had said it could start the tests anytime from March 2 onwards.

All the players in the Pakistan squad had claered dope tests conducted internally by the Pakistan Cricket Board before leaving for the West Indies.
