Pakistan's Mohammed Asif has been named as the cricketer who failed a drugs test during the recent Indian Premier League tournament.

The 25-year-old says he's shocked by the findings, but now faces a ban of up to five years if he's unable to prove his innocence.

Asif was initially banned from cricket for a year after failing a doping test in 2006, although that ban was overturned on appeal.

He was also detained for 19 days in Dubai earlier this year on charges of possessing an illegal drug.
