The 22-year-old has been advised to hire a lawyer to submit his answer to a two-member committee which includes former Test player, Colonel Naushad Ali and a qualified sports medicine doctor.
"The results of the B sample are still awaited but on the basis of the A sample results, the Board has already established a two-member committee to chargesheet the spinner and seek an explanation from him," a source close to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told PTI. "The PCB is taking the matter very seriously because this is the first time any player has tested positive for the use of cocaine," the source said. "If Hasan can't clear himself before the inquiry committee, he faces a two-year ban from all cricket."
Raza is not the first player to have been reported for the use of banned drugs. In the past, several players have been found guilty of consuming illegal drugs. Pakistan fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif had tested positive for banned substances, and were subsequently dropped from the 2007 World Cup. Former Australian spinner Shane Warne was infamously handed a 12-month ban on the eve of the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa after he was tested positive for a banned diuretic.
