Kagiso Rabada Cleared to Play for Gujarat Titans After Suspension

Kagiso Rabada Returns to IPL Action

Gujarat Titans' fast bowler Kagiso Rabada is set to participate in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) match after completing a one-month suspension due to a recreational drug violation, as confirmed by Titans' Director of Cricket, Vikram Solanki.

The 29-year-old South African cricketer received clearance to return to the game on Monday from the South African Institute For Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS).

Solanki addressed the media ahead of Tuesday's match against the Mumbai Indians, stating, "Regarding Kagiso's availability for tomorrow's game, he is now cleared to play following the recent decisions and events of the past month."

He added, "Kagiso has learned from this experience, and we are eager to have him back in our squad and on the practice field. He has served his suspension." Rabada tested positive during South Africa's domestic T20 league in January and acknowledged his failure in a drug test last Saturday.

Ranked second in the world for Test bowling, Rabada will also be eligible for the World Test Championship final against Australia, scheduled at Lord's from June 11-15.
