Pakistan spinner Abdur Rehman is facing a two-year ban from cricket for failing a dope test in England. The 32-year-old left-arm spinner was representing Somerset in County cricket last month and is not part of the ongoing World Twenty20 squad in Sri Lanka. According to a report, the England and Wales Cricket Board has informed the PCB about Rehman flunking the test. Rehman is the 17th player worldwide and third from Pakistan to have failed a dope test. Fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar had also tested positive. Though not part of the World T20 squad, Rehman is a regular member of the Test and one-day squads. In 17 Test matches, he has taken 81 wickets and 21 in 25 ODIs.
