The International Cricket Council has imposed a three-month ban on Nawaz after he breached the anti-doping code.

Details of the Suspension

According to an official ICC release, Nawaz will serve the ban immediately. The period covers exactly three months from the date the sanction was applied.

All results and performances recorded by Nawaz in matches starting from the game against the Netherlands on 7 February have been removed from official records.

Matches Affected by the Decision

The disqualification extends across every match Nawaz played after 7 February and continues until 1 May 2026.

• Match against the Netherlands on 7 February
• All subsequent matches played by Nawaz
• Any statistics accumulated until 1 May 2026

Nawaz’s records from these fixtures no longer count in official ICC statistics.

“Nawaz’s records from the match against the Netherlands on 7 February and in subsequent matches until 1 May 2026 have been disqualified,” an ICC release said.

This single statement from the ICC forms the complete basis of the sanction details released publicly.

Scope of the Anti-Doping Violation

The ban stems directly from Nawaz breaching the anti-doping code. No further specifics about the substance or circumstances appear in the ICC announcement.

Fans searching for updates on anti-doping cases in cricket will note that the ICC applied the standard three-month suspension in this instance.

The ruling ensures that no statistical credit remains for any contribution Nawaz made in the affected period.

Timeline of the Ban

The disqualification window begins with the Netherlands fixture on 7 February and runs continuously through to 1 May 2026.

During this entire stretch, every performance by Nawaz is officially nullified.

The length of the ban aligns precisely with the three-month penalty announced by the ICC.
