Pacer Sohail Tanvir is among the six Pakistani players banned from playing at the ground (Karachi Gymkhana ground) after being charged with ball-tampering and abusing the umpires during a Ramadan festival Twenty20 match.

Officials confirmed that Tanvir, Ahmed Shahzed, Sohail Khan, Javed Qadeer, who have all played for the national team, and Tanveer Ahmed and Nadeem Sheikh have been banned from playing any matches at the famous Karachi Gymkhana ground.
