Four Pakistani cricketers will undergo dope tests before the third one-day international against England on Friday. A Pakistan team official said this today. Team manager Yawar Saeed confirmed that a team of experts from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had reached London and had notified the Pakistan team that random dope tests would be conducted before the match to be played at The Oval. Yawar said WADA had not conveyed which players would be picked for the tests on Wednesday but sources in the team have said that four senior players have been shortlisted. Yawar said the dope tests were a routine matter as Pakistan Cricket Board was a signatory to the WADA anti-doping code which other boards had signed as well. The Pakistan team manager said that under the agreement WADA can conduct random dope tests during any competition or out of competition at any time of the year.
