Mohammad Nawaz, a 32-year-old cricketer for Pakistan, is currently under investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after testing positive for recreational drugs during the T20 World Cup held earlier this year. Nawaz participated in all seven matches of the tournament, where he scored 15 runs and took seven wickets. The PCB confirmed that they are following due process after being informed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) about the positive test. This situation has also affected Nawaz's potential signing with Surrey County Cricket Club, which has now fallen through. The PCB had previously granted him a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to play in the Blast, scheduled from May 26 to July 18, but this will no longer proceed. The PCB is expected to communicate the findings of their investigation to the ICC soon.
