 The Pakistan cricket Board on Tuesday said it would consider helping out suspended pacer if he approaches them for help in his doping case with the Indian Premier League. Nadeem Akram PCB Director Human resources denied that the Board had distanced itself from Asif after he tested positive for a banned substance in the IPL until now neither he nor his lawyer Shahid Karim have approached us for any assistance in securing visas for Switzerland or otherwise.

 If they do request us for assistance we will consider helping him Akram said he insisted that the Board had not deserted Asif after his Dubai detention or the positive test in the IPL. He is one of our valued players but since we have no jurisdiction in the IPL and they are communicating directly with him and his lawyer he was advised to handle things himself and fight his case but if he requires assistance and advise we have never said no to him. The PCB has provided him all help as allowed under our rules and regulations. We have not ignored him but eventually IPL has its own anti-doping regulations and committee and he has to fight his case himself he said. PCB Chief Operating Officer Shafqat Naghmi had earlier said that Asif will have to fight his case on his own. Akram is one of the members of the three member fact finding committee formed by the Board and which has completed its probe into Asif`s 19 days detention in Dubai in June when he was detained by airport authorities while returning from India for allegedly carrying a banned substance. Akram declined to reveal details of what recommendations the committee had made in its report to the Board Chairman but said a final decision would be announced when Nasim Ashraf will return from abroad on August 12 or 13. Meanwhile IPL officials today told Asifs lawyer that they were considering their request to postpone the date for the B sample test in Geneva at the World Anti Doping Agency accredited laboratory.

Asif and Karim want to travel to Geneva for the test but were on Monday told by the Swiss embassy officials they need to submit fresh travel dates and the IPL had earlier changed the date for the B sample test from July 28 to August 6 but Karim has said that due to the visa formalities they need time until mid August to be present in Geneva. IPL officials have conveyed to us they are considering our request.

Pakistan cricket was rocked by yet another controversy on Monday when it was confirmed that Pakistan’s young fast bowler Mohammad Asif’s dope test, conducted in the first Indian Premier League (IPL) on May 30, has resulted in the positive.

IPL chairman and Commissioner Lalit Modi confirmed on Monday that bowler, who represented Delhi Daredevils in IPL, failed the dope test.

“The news about Mohammad Asif’s dope test has been in the press since the morning but the PCB was officially informed by BCCI at 4.30pm,” PCB Director Cricket Operations (DCO) International, Zakir Khan told reporters in the evening after the shocking news regarding the lanky pacer had been taking rounds for almost seven hours since the morning.
