\u201cAs has been reported, I recently returned to South Africa from participating in the IPL for personal reasons. This was due to my returning an adverse analytical finding for the use of a recreational drug.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI 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 I. It goes beyond my personal aspirations. I am serving a provisional suspension and I am looking forward to returning to the game I love playing,\u201d said Rabada in a statement issued by the South African Cricketers\u2019 Association (SACA) on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With this revelation, it is unlikely that Rabada will return to India to play for GT in the remainder of their IPL 2025 campaign. It is yet to be known if the recreational drug that Rabada used was a performance-enhancing one or not. Moreover, whether the positive result of the drug test came through either an 'in competition' or \u2018out of competition' testing. It is also not clear whether he flunked the dope test during the IPL or before it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI couldn't have gone through this alone. I'd like to thank my agent, CSA, and Gujarat Titans for their support. I'd also like to thank SACA and my legal team for their guidance and counsel.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMost importantly, I'd like to thank my friends and family for their understanding and love. Moving forward, this moment will not define me. I will keep doing what I have always done, continuously working hard and playing with passion and devotion to my craft,\u201d added Rabada.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
