Kagiso Rabada Sent Back From IPL Over 'Drug Use', Suspended From Cricket. Issues Statement
Exactly a month ago, Gujarat Titans pacer Kagiso Rabada returned home from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, with the franchise labelling the reason a ‘personal' one. However, the South African speedster has now revealed that he had to return home due to ‘provisional suspension' over the usage of recreational drugs. Rabada himself issued a statement, explaining the scenario while also suggesting that he would use this as an opportunity to reflect on and improve himself. However, the statement didn't clarify what sort of recreational substance the pacer use, for which he tested positive. The statement also doesn't explain if it was an 'in competition' (IC) test or 'out of competition' (OOC).
