Ban on Asif
Mohammad Asif has been now officially banned from playing any cricket at home and abroad from the board which looks after cricket in the Pakistan. The fast bowler was detained at Dubai airport last June after being found in possession of opium.
Asif, who has played in 11 tests and 31 one-day internationals was detained in Dubai for 19-days when customs officials found 0.24 grams of opium in his wallet. He was returning home from India after playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Dubai public prosecutor’s office did not press criminal charges against Asif but he was deported from Dubai.
Mohammad Asif also involved himself in the brawl with the Dubai airport officials and everything turned ugly. Asif, who after a little fame blown the top of his head, just got arrogant and he was slapped hard. Now Asif is in hot waters as Asif is also due to face a hearing of the IPL drugs inquiry tribunal next week for failing a doping test during the IPL last year.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has pressed the Pakistan cricket Board (PCB) to outline its position on the Mohammad Asif drugs case. Asif’s future is bleak and lesson for the upcoming youngsters.
