Pakistani Cricketer Mohammed Asif Caught Possessing Hashish in Dubai, to Be Deported
The 26-year-old Asif was detained by customs authorities at the airport Sunday on charges of possessing drugs.
He was returning home after playing for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL semi-final against Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai Friday.
Apparently he was arrested after being trapped by a sniffer dog in the transit lounge of the Dubai airport. One Pakistani Cricket Board official told that the cricketer appeared to be in possession of cigarettes filled with hashish. Pakistan's foreign office said it was in touch with the authorities in Dubai.
Forensic tests have since proved Mohammad Asif was carrying a small amount of hashish. The authorities may not refer the case to court but deport the player, media reports said Thursday.
"The Dubai Attorney General is expected to sign administrative deportation orders, thereby ensuring that the case is not referred to the Dubai Courts," 'Khaleej Times' quoted the sources as saying.
But that is no great consolation for Asif. He could face a life time ban from cricket, though the Pakistani Cricket Board seems to be backing him to the hilt.
He has only played a few international cricket matches but is already being compared to the great Australian Glenn McGrath. He shares a similar high arm action to McGrath and probes the corridor of uncertainty outside the off-stump. He has proved lethal in his short international career as he gets the ball to move both ways creating doubt in the mind of the batsman.
