LAHORE – The Pakistan Cricket Board yesterday suspended fast bowler Mohammad Asif from all competition until an inquiry is completed by India, where he tested positive for a banned substance.
“We have suspended Asif from all cricket -neither can he be involved in any cricket-related activity nor can he hold any office relating to cricket,” the board’s chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmi told a news conference. The Indian Premier League on Monday named Asif as the player who tested positive during the Twenty20 competition held from April to June.”The inquiry will be conducted by the IPL doping tribunal and whatever decision they take against Asif, we would back it,” said Naghmi.Nampa-AFPThe Indian Premier League on Monday named Asif as the player who tested positive during the Twenty20 competition held from April to June.”The inquiry will be conducted by the IPL doping tribunal and whatever decision they take against Asif, we would back it,” said Naghmi.Nampa-AFP
