PCB hands Hamza Nazar two-year ban for visa breach

Pakistan all-rounder Hamza Nazar got a two-year ban from all domestic and international cricket after the PCB ruled he gave incomplete and misleading information on his visa application. The board also slapped him with a PKR 1 million fine. A three-member inquiry committee heard his defence before delivering its findings.

The 27-year-old had played 16 first-class matches, 15 List A games and 10 T20s, scoring 1,005 runs and claiming 47 wickets. Last month the selectors added him to Pakistan's red-ball training camp in Lahore ahead of the two-Test series against West Indies.
