South Africa batter Zubayr Hamza has agreed a voluntary suspension from cricket after it was revealed that he had failed an ICC anti-doping test.
In a statement, Cricket South Africa announced that Hamza had tested positive for Furosemide, a prohibited substance under the ICC's anti-doping code. Hamza, 26, made his international debut in 2019 and most recently featured in South Africa's tour of New Zealand in February.
He had been named in the squad for their ongoing tour of Bangladesh but was late withdrawn, with CSA citing 'personal reasons'. However, it has now been revealed that Hamza failed an anti-doping test on January 17 2022.
