But sources close to the bowler said that Asif could also end up attending a hearing of the IPL drugs inquiry tribunal in the Indian capital over his failed dope tests during the inaugural IPL last year.

"Although the IPL tribunal is due to meet on January 24 in Mumbai, but given the fact that Asif will have to apply for a new visa to travel to Mumbai, he could well be going to Delhi to attend a hearing," informed one source.

Asif presently had a valid visa for the Indian capital but would need to get a new one for Mumbai, which, under the new rules would take almost a month.

Asif, who is already suspended by the Pakistan Cricket Board, is keen to get the hearing over with and waiting for a decision from the tribunal. The cricketer is also going through financial crisis as the PCB has not paid him anything for the last six months.

The sources also confirmed that the Delhi Daredevils had held up USD 200,000 after the results of the dope test on Asif that was conducted in July last year.
