Pakistan All-Rounder Nawaz Sanctioned After Cannabis-Related Positive Test
- On Friday, the International Cricket Council sanctioned Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz with a three-month ban following his admission of an anti-doping code violation.
- Testing revealed Nawaz used Carboxy-THC, a substance of abuse, after the February 7 Netherlands match, though he admitted the substance was used out of competition.
- The ICC disqualified Nawaz's match records from February 7 through May 1, 2026, including appearances during Pakistan's T20 World Cup campaign.
- Backdated to May 1, the three-month ban is largely served; the ICC lifted Nawaz's provisional suspension after he completed two and a half months of ineligibility.
- If Nawaz completes the rehabilitation program to the ICC's satisfaction, he may avoid serving the remaining half month of ineligibility, marking a path for his return to Pakistan's cricket.
