Bracewell, 34, who played 28 Tests tested positive after a domestic Twenty20 match between Central Districts and Wellington in January. He was named Player of the Match. The initial three-month ban imposed by the Commission was reduced to one month on the condition Bracewell completed a treatment program. The one-month ban was then backdated to April, meaning he can now return to cricket.
