ICC suspends Pakistan’s Shah for failing drug test

The International Cricket Council has provisionally suspended Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah for a positive drug test.

The ICC said in a statement yesterday that a sample provided by Shah on November 13, when Pakistan played a one-day international against England in the United Arab Emirates, contained chlortalidone, which is on the World Anti-Doping Authority’s list of prohibited substances. Shah could challenge the suspension and apply for the test of his B sample within seven days. The 29-year-old Shah has taken 76 wickets in 12 test matches and 18 wickets in 15 ODIs. The latest doping issue in cricket comes on the heels of Sri Lankan wicketkeeper batsman Kusal Perera testing positive for a banned substance earlier this month.
