Pakistan's Mohammad Nawaz sanctioned for doping violation
Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has been banned for three months following the violation of the ICC's anti-doping code. He had tested positive for a Substance of Abuse (Carboxy-THC) under the ICC Anti-Doping Code following a doping test conducted after the Men's T20 World Cup 2026 match against the Netherlands in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on 7 February. Notably, the ban was backdated to May 1, 2026, the date from which he began a voluntary provisional suspension. According to the ICC, Nawaz accepted the sanction, resulting in a three-month period of ineligibility.
"Nawaz admitted the offence and demonstrated that the substance had been used out-of-competition and in a manner unrelated to sport performance. The 32-year-old tested positive for a Substance of Abuse (Carboxy-THC) under the ICC Anti-Doping Code following a doping test carried out after the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 match against the Netherlands in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 7 February," an ICC media release stated.
"Subject to Nawaz completing a substance of abuse treatment programme to the ICC's satisfaction, Nawaz will not be required to serve any further period of ineligibility. As required by the ICC Anti-Doping Code, Nawaz's records from the match against the Netherlands on 7 February and in subsequent matches until 1 May 2026 have been disqualified."
Mohammad Nawaz was last seen in action at the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, playing for Multan Sultans. He featured in all games for his side.
