In a major setback, Pakistan’s top cricketer Mohammad Nawaz is now under investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board after he tested positive for recreational drug use.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the positive test result came from checks conducted during the T20 World Cup earlier this year.
It is important to note that Mohammad Nawaz played all seven matches for Pakistan in Sri Lanka. During the T20 World Cup 2026, the Men in Green was knocked out at the Super Eight stage. Notably, he scored 15 runs and also took seven wickets in the tournament.
PCB investigating the matter
"The International Cricket Council (ICC) has informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about this matter, and PCB has begun the due process. The results of this process will be communicated to the ICC today," a PCB spokesperson told ESPNcricinfo on Wednesday.
