Yasir, 29, tested positive for banned substance chlortalidone following the second one-day international against England in Abu Dhabi last month. 


He has been provisionally suspended by governing body the International Cricket Council (ICC) "pending the outcome of the disciplinary process".


Akhtar stated on Twitter that it was a big set back for Pakistani cricket and that he is so down after hearing the news.



Meanwhile, fellow former Pakistan cricketers also prayed and wished Yasir a swift return.




Earlier this month, Yasir was named in the ICC's Test team of the year. Since making his international debut in 2011, Yasir has played in 12 Tests and 15 one-day internationals.


Yasir has taken 76 Test wickets and 18 in one-day internationals
