A player tested positive for banned substances at this year's inaugural Twenty20 Indian Premier League (IPL), its commissioner Lalit Modi said on Sunday.

"One player from the IPL has tested positive," Modi told Reuters. "We don't know his name yet and we have to wait till we get the details."

The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the finding and urged the Indian board to strictly follow the procedures.

"The ICC is aware of an adverse analytical finding (AAF) from the recently concluded IPL," it said in a statement.

"As with any AAF that arises during a testing programme organised by one of the ICC's members, it is the responsibility of that member, in this case the BCCI, to deal with the process in a timely and fair manner.

"The ICC is proud of its status as a WADA signatory and will be closely monitoring the situation to ensure the correct action is taken by the BCCI.

"The ICC retains a right of appeal if any penalty that may be imposed is inconsistent with the WADA Code."
