Kagiso Rabada's Provisional Suspension Due to Drug Test Failure

South African cricketer Kagiso Rabada is serving a provisional suspension after failing a drug test.

Kagiso Rabada, the 29-year-old South African fast bowler, who has played 241 times for the country across all formats, is currently under provisional suspension for a failed drugs test. He returned home from the Indian Premier League last month to deal with a personal matter and has now confirmed the adverse finding. Rabada, in good form previously and a significant player in cricket, expressed deep sorry and is looking forward to returning. It remains unclear if he will return to the IPL this season.

The incident has raised concerns among fans and the cricketing community. Rabada has been a key player and his absence could have an impact on various teams and competitions.
