Rabada serving provisional ban for positive drug test

Kagiso Rabada, a fast bowler from South Africa, claims he has received a temporary suspension for a drug test.

The 29-year-old left the Indian Premier League earlier this month to “deal with an important personal matter” while playing for the Gujarat Titans.

He has now confirmed that it was because he “returned an adverse analytical finding for the use of a recreational drug.”

Rabada did not make the drug or the duration of his ban public.

However, he will compete in the Lord’s World Test Championship final when South Africa takes on Australia on June 11 and 15.

Rabada, who has played for South Africa in all formats for 241 times, expressed regret to all those who have let him down in a statement released by the South African Cricketers Association.

“I will never underestimate the worth of playing cricket,” he said. I have a lot more freedom than I do. It goes against what I want to achieve.

With 11, 817 balls, he was the fastest bowler to ever surpass the mark for deliveries bowled.

He took two wickets before returning home from the Titans’ first two IPL games this year.

With only four games left in the regular season, it’s unclear if he’ll play for the Titans again this year.
