Nawaz admitted the violation, and that the substance had been used in a manner unrelated to sporting performance.
Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has been sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after testing positive for a cannabis-related substance and has been handed a three-month ban that can be reduced upon completion of a rehabilitation programme, the governing body said.
Nawaz admitted the violation and demonstrated that the substance had been used out of competition in a manner unrelated to sporting performance, the ICC said in a statement on Friday.
