ICC bans Yasir Shah for three months
DAWN SPORT — PUBLISHED 3 MINUTES AGO

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appealed against Shah’s ban on January 10. — Reuters/File
Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah has been banned for three months after testing positive for a banned substance in December.

The 29-year-old will be available to play again on March 27.

Shah was provisionally suspended on December 27 after his “A” sample contained a banned substance - chlortalidone - which is on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appealed against Shah’s ban on January 10 after the leg-spinner was said to have taken his wife's blood pressure medication without knowing that it contained the banned substance.

The 29-year-old has 76 Test scalps in 12 Tests for his country and holds the record for being the fastest Pakistani bowler to reach the 50-wicket mark.

Come on Dear Pakistanis,
The main point of ICC`s & BCCI to keep him away from T20 World Cup in India 2016 & Asia Cup 2016.
Do Not Forget what happened to main Pakistani bowlers before World Cup 2015 in Australia & New Zealand!

Yasir shah is not T20 material, and he had no chance of getting selected

I see. Anyway, I wonder why only Pakistani players being targeted before major tournament?

Clearly because only a Pakistani cricketer would be stupid enough to take someone else's medication without consulting his doctor.
BTW Shane Warne was banned for a year days before 2003 WC too.
