Kagiso Rabada cleared to play again after serving doping suspension
South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has served a one-month ban, commuted from three months, for drug use during the SA20 earlier this year.
A statement issued by the South African Institute for Drug Free Sports (SAIDS) confirmed Rabada had failed a doping test on January 21, after the match between MI Cape Town and Durban Super Giants, and he was notified of the result on April 1 when he was in India for IPL 2025.
On April 3, his IPL franchise Gujarat Titans (GT) said Rabada had returned to South Africa for personal reasons after playing only two matches this season.
According to SAIDS, Rabada has since participated in an education and awareness programme to prevent further substance abuse.
He can resume playing immediately and could return to action as soon as Tuesday, when GT play Mumbai Indians (MI).
Rabada's sanction is in line with the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) punishment for use of a recreational drug - including cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine or diamorphine.
A similar punishment was handed to New Zealand's Doug Bracewell last year after he tested positive for cocaine during the Super Smash.
