Watch Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Day 2 Live

The committee was formed by the PCB Chairman to probe into Asif's detention in Dubai which took place last year in June while the pacer was returning from India after playing in the Indian Premier League.

Although the authorities found 0.24 grams of opium in his possession, the Dubai public prosecutor did not press for any charges against the pacer and was later deported home.The three-member committee would be submitting its recommendations to the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ejaz Butt few days after the conclusion of the second test against Sri Lanka on March 5 and if board sources were to be believed the committee is likely to recommend just a fine on Asif and not penalties.

"We were supposed to wind up our inquiry by end of this month but due to unavailability of some documents the hearing has been delayed a bit. But we intend to finalise our recommendations and submit it to the PCB by middle of next month," a member in the inquiry committee said today.
