The Pakistan Cricket Board has completed its findings into fast bowler Mohammad Asif's drug case, but the final decision on his future can only be taken by the yet-to-be-appointed new chairman of the board, a PCB official said Friday.

"We have completed our work and now it's up to the new chairman to decide on our recommendations," PCB's chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmi told the Associated Press.

Asif was detained for 19 days in Dubai after authorities allegedly found a substance containing opium in his wallet as he traveled through Dubai's international airport on his way home from playing in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament.
