Mohammad Nawaz, the 32-year-old all-rounder from Pakistan, has faced a setback after testing positive for recreational drugs during the T20 World Cup earlier this year. This positive test has led to the cancellation of his proposed contract with Surrey for England's T20 Blast, which was set to take place from May 26 to July 18. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has initiated an investigation following notification from the International Cricket Council (ICC). Nawaz's performance in the World Cup was underwhelming, as he scored only 15 runs and took seven wickets across seven matches, contributing to Pakistan's early exit from the tournament. Despite his strong record in T20 internationals, where he has taken 101 wickets in 98 matches, this incident has raised concerns about his future in the sport. Currently, he is participating in the Pakistan Super League with Multan Sultans.
