Bangladesh promising left-arm pace bowler Kazi Anik is all set to receive huge punishment as he was found positive in dope test.

Anik, who played in the last edition of ICC Under-19 World Cup, was found dope positive in the last round of National Cricket League where he played for Dhaka Metro.

As a result he was not included in other tournament  while though his name was initially included in the BPL player’s draft it was later withdrawn due to his dope positive.   

‘’We have been informed by the medical team that he was found positive in dope test during the NCL and we decided not to include him in further part of NCL. We also decided not to include his name in the BBPL players draft,’’ said Minhajul.

‘’He was part in some of our program but now we have decided not to include him in our structure until we are getting the full report from the medical team,’’ he said.

According to BCB’s anti-doping rule, it was stated in clause10.3.2 for a violation of Article 2.4 (Whereabouts Failures) that is the Cricketer’s first offence, the period of Ineligibility imposed shall be two years subject to reduction down to a minimum of one (1) year depending the Cricketer’s degree of Fault.

The flexibility between two years and one year of Ineligibility in this Articles is not available to Cricketers where a pattern of last minute whereabouts changes or other conduct raises a serious suspicion that the Cricketer was trying to avoid being available for Testing.
