The Pakistan speedster, Mohammad Asif, today said his family had been in
turmoil since the dope test results were revealed in October, forcing him to be
sent home from the Champions Trophy.
"I am delighted to hear that I will be playing again. My family has supported
me and I hope to continue playing well of my country," he said.
"These two months have been the worst of my life and only today I resumed
training," said Asif, adding he had lost six pounds through worry.
Pakistan fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif
yesterday won their appeals against bans for doping, paving the way for their
return to international cricket.
The duo were banned from cricket by an internal Pakistani tribunal
in November 1.
