Kazi Anik Islam handed 2-year-suspension for doping violation

DHAKA: Kazi Anik Islam, Bangladesh's first-class cricketer who featured in the 2018 U-19 World Cup, has been handed a two-year-suspension for failing a dope test during the National Cricket League in November 2018. After failing the test, he was removed from every program of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that he was part of. Islam had tested positive for Methamphetamine(d-) -- a substance included in ICC's prohibited list of 2018 -- during an in-competition test held in Cox Bazaar. Subsequently in February 2019, the left-arm pacer had admitted the guilt and also accepted the provisional suspension that was meted out as per Anti-Doping Code of the BCB. IANS
