Pakistani spinner Mohammad Nawaz has been sanctioned for breaching the ICC’s Anti-Doping Code. Nawaz accepted a three-month period of ineligibility, which will be reduced to one month upon completion of a specified anti-doping education course. The violation stemmed from a sample collection issue during the National T20 Cup in September 2023. While details regarding the specific substance involved remain undisclosed, the ICC confirmed it wasn't a performance-enhancing drug. Nawaz has cooperated fully with the investigation. This penalty prevents Nawaz from participating in any form of cricket for a month, beginning retroactively from the date of sample collection.
