Opener Ahmed Shehzad charged over positive test: PCB

LAHORE (Reuters) - Batsman Ahmed Shehzad has tested positive for a banned substance and will be charged later on Tuesday. The PCB announced in June that a player had failed a doping test but refused to reveal the name of the team member or the charges they faced until a chemical report was completed, as per the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) regulations. “Independent Review Board Report on doping case has been received by PCB. Cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has tested positive for a banned substance. PCB will issue charge sheet,” the PCB said on its verified Twitter account. Shehzad, 26, has struggled to nail down a place in the Pakistan squad in recent years but played in the two-match Twenty20 series at Scotland in June, where he scored a combined 38 runs as the visitors recorded commanding victories.
