Hamza Nazar receives two-year ban from cricket over visa misrepresentation
Summary

The Pakistan Cricket Board has imposed a two-year suspension on all-rounder Hamza Nazar for providing misleading information during his visa application. The sanction, which also includes a fine of one million rupees, results from an internal inquiry that found Nazar did not disclose complete and accurate details. This decision follows his anticipated involvement in the West Indies Test series, which he is now ineligible to join due to the suspension. The PCB emphasized that such conduct undermines the standards expected of those representing Pakistan cricket.
