The 24-year-old had been in contention for Pakistan's Test tour of the West Indies before the issue ruled him out. Separately, the PCB has threatened a two-year ban on former players who participated in the unsanctioned Asian Legends Cup in Lusaka, Zambia, including Mohammed Irfan, Imran Nazir, and Yasir Shah. The tournament lacked ICC and Zambia Cricket Union approval and was abruptly ended by its organisers. Some players like Shoaib Malik and Muhammad Hafeez withdrew after learning the event was unsanctioned. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - rediff.com Tags: Hamza Nazar, Pakistan cricket, PCB, visa controversy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/pakistans-hamza-nazar-suspended-for-two-years-over-visa-details/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
