South African fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has admitted to failing a drug test due to the use of a recreational substance, leading to a provisional suspension from all forms of competitive cricket.
The South African pacer is known for his brilliant exploits with the ball.
He has dominated the cricketing scene since his arrival into the highest level of the game.
However, what turns out to be a shocking development, the Proteas speedster is facing a suspension after testing positive for the usage of a banned substance. The 29-year-old, who was representing Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, had earlier left the tournament citing personal reasons.
In a recent statement released by the pacer, it turns out that he is facing a suspension due to his banned substance usage.
In a statement released through the South African Cricketers' Association, Rabada expressed deep remorse.
"I am deeply sorry to all those whom I have let down. I will never take the privilege of playing cricket for granted. This privilege is much larger than me. It goes beyond my personal aspirations."
