Asif's B sample test postponed to August 6

Mohammad Asif's B sample test has shifted from July 28 to August 6 after he requested for more time to make travel arrangements for his visit to Switzerland, where he will be assessed at a World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory.

"Hopefully, we will prepare a strong case by August 6," Shahid Karim, Asif's lawyer, said, adding that he will accompany his client on the trip and that both were applying for visas on Tuesday.

Asif is looking to clear his name after he was found to have used a banned substance during random dope testing at the Indian Premier League, where he played for the Delhi Daredevils. He is currently under suspension for the offence, and is due to appear before an IPL tribunal to face those charges and is likely to face some punishment from the Pakistan board thereafter.
