Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz is sanctioned following a cannabis-related positive test reported after Pakistan’s T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands in February. Multiple outlets report that Nawaz tested positive for Carboxy-THC, a metabolite associated with THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. The Independent and Deccan Chronicle note that Nawaz played in Pakistan’s matches at the T20 World Cup earlier this year. The Hindu reports that the International Cricket Council (ICC) states Nawaz admitted the anti-doping rule violation and presented an explanation that the substance was used out of competition and was unrelated to sporting performance. Channel NewsAsia also describes the sanction following the cannabis-related positive test, aligning with the broader account of timing and the substance involved. The reports collectively indicate that the sanction follows the positive test from the February Netherlands game and that the ICC has addressed Nawaz’s admission and stated circumstances of use. Specific details of the sanction length are not provided in the supplied excerpts.
