Published by Parlour News

Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has come under scrutiny after testing positive for recreational drug use, triggering an investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The development, according to a media report, has also led to his proposed stint with Surrey in the T20 Blast in England falling through. Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz (AP) According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, PCB is currently investigating the matter. A PCB spokesperson told the website on Wednesday: “The International Cricket Council (ICC) has informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about this matter, and PCB has begun the due process. The results of this process will be communicated to the ICC today.” The report further revealed that the test was conducted during the T20 World Cup earlier this year.

And five years later, with his idol who inspired retiring, and opening up a spot in the Indian team, Sai Sudharsan got his big break. As the selectors gave a maiden Test call-up to Sai Sudharsan, it hardly came as a surprise. He may not have compelling numbers in the domestic circuit, but through the course of each season including the IPL, has shown why he has the potential to become the next big all-format batsman for India. Three ODI caps have already been earned and a Test cap now looks a definite possibility in England, where he is widely tipped to bat at No.3. Behind his rise to …
