New Delhi: Yeshsavi Jaiswal And Shafali Verma has received notices from India’s anti-doping body, NADA, after missing a scheduled dope test last year. Both players are part of NADA’s Registered Testing Pool (RTP), which means they are required to report their whereabouts regularly and will be available for surprise testing during a fixed time each day.According to sources, the two cricketers were not available during their scheduled Tests and did not provide any explanation for their disappearance. This has now resulted in his first official “where failure”.
“Notices have been issued to the athletes concerned, and national federations have also been informed. BCCIAnd the ICC,” a source told news agency PTI.
What happens after a missed test?
Under anti-doping rules, players in the RTP must constantly update their location details so testers can reach them at any time. Missing one test is considered a warning, but three such failures within a specified period can count as a doping violation and lead to a suspension.The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed receiving the information from NADA and said it would look into the matter.A BCCI source said, “Yes, we have received information from NADA about the missed Tests. We will check with them how it happened, and take necessary steps so that such things do not happen in future.”The issue has gained attention as cricket returns to the Olympics at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, increasing the importance of strict anti-doping compliance.Currently 13 Indian cricketers are part of NADA’s RTP list including Shibman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant.
