The test detected the presence of a <strong>prohibited substance<\/strong> in his sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with the ICC Anti-Doping Code, all of Nawaz&#8217;s match results and individual performances from the <strong>February 7 match against the Netherlands through May 1, 2026<\/strong>, have been <strong>disqualified<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICC said Nawaz acknowledged that the prohibited substance was <strong>used outside of competition<\/strong> and was <strong>not intended to enhance his sporting performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result of the violation, the ICC imposed a <strong>three-month period of ineligibility<\/strong>. However, the sanction is deemed to have begun on <strong>May 1, 2026<\/strong>, the date on which Nawaz voluntarily accepted a provisional suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governing body added that if Nawaz successfully completes the required <strong>rehabilitation program<\/strong> related to the use of the prohibited substance, his period of ineligibility will be <strong>reduced from three months to one month<\/strong>, in line with the applicable anti-doping regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICC confirmed that Nawaz has formally agreed to take part in the rehabilitation program. Consequently, following the completion of approximately <strong>two and a half months<\/strong> under provisional suspension, the ICC has <strong>lifted his provisional suspension<\/strong>, allowing the remaining disciplinary process to proceed under the agreed terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DUBAI: Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has admitted to violating the ICC Anti-Doping Code and agreed to participate in a rehabilitation program, leading the International Cricket..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/438207_4916595_updates-2.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=6\" rel=\"category\">Sports<\/a>","tag_info":"Sports","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6345"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6347,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6345\/revisions\/6347"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
