BCCI Chief Selector Chetan Sharma has claimed that several top Indian players fake their fitness ahead of major tournaments by taking injections.

In a Zee Media sting operation that's sure to send shockwaves through Indian cricket, Sharma was caught on camera alleging a form of 'doping' by Indian stars.

The Chairman of the Senior selection committee, alleged many players in Indian cricket take injections to get fit even when they are not. He highlighted that several cricketers have their own doctors outside of the BCCI medical team who provide them with the supplies. He further said that some star players get a green signal from the National Cricket Academy even when they are not fully fit.

The 57-year-old claimed that players know which injections to take ahead of big tournaments, and these are not detected by anti-doping agencies.
