South African player Zubair Hamza has agreed to be suspended voluntarily after a positive drug test.
According to the French news agency AFP, Zubair Hamza is 26 years old and has played six Test matches and one ODI.
The South African Cricket Board said in a statement that "Hamza's body tested positive for furosemide in an ICC anti-doping test on January 17."
Furosemide is a drug that treats hypertension and high levels of substances in the body. It is listed as a World Anti-Doping Agency drug.
According to South African Cricket, Zubair did not object to the test being positive. He is cooperating with the ICC and has agreed to an immediate suspension.
"Furosemide does not increase performance and Hamza has identified the effects of this drug on the body."
Zubair was included in the ODI series between Bangladesh and South Africa, but was announced not to play before the start of the series.
The South African Cricket Board had said it would not play the series for "personal reasons".
