Kagiso Rabada returns to IPL post-suspension for drug use, facing criticism over transparency. Tim Paine calls for clarity on the suspension details.

Kagiso Rabada Returns to IPL After Suspension

Kagiso Rabada is set for IPL return amid drug use controversy. Tim Paine demands transparency over suspension specifics, sparking debate.

Kagiso Rabada Controversial IPL Comeback

Kagiso Rabada returns to IPL after a suspension for drug use, sparking transparency debates. Criticism arises over non-disclosure of specifics.

In an eventful week, Gujarat Titans and South Africa pacer, Kagiso Rabada, is set to make a comeback in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. This news comes just a month after his sudden departure from the tournament, previously cited as a "personal issue." Rabada has now revealed that his absence was due to a suspension for recreational drug use. This disclosure raises questions about the transparency of the situation, an issue that former Australian captain Tim Paine has publicly criticized. Speaking on SEN Radio, Paine did not hold back regarding his disapproval of how Rabada's situation was handled. "It stinks. Using 'personal issues' to cover up recreational drug use is not acceptable," Paine stated. "This isn't just a personal issue&mdash;it's a breach of professional conduct and contracts." While Rabada has served his suspension and is cleared to play, details remain vague. The specifics of what drugs were involved, the length of the ban, and the authorities behind the suspension have not been disclosed. These unresolved details have left many, including Paine, demanding clarity. Paine emphasized the need for accountability, stating that the public deserves to know the circumstances surrounding such incidents. "If you&rsquo;re caught using drugs, we should know what happened, how long you&rsquo;re banned, and who imposed the suspension," Paine asserted. Despite the controversy, Rabada is now eligible and expected to play against Australia in the World Test Championship final and will also join the IPL lineup for the Gujarat Titans. The situation underscores the ongoing debate about transparency and accountability in professional sports.

Over the course of a season, six players of colour are required to be in the South Africa playing XI including two from the black African community

Cricket South Africa slammed for including only 1 black African in T20 World Cup squad

Cricket South Africa has been criticised for failing to meet "transformational targets" with only one black African in Kagiso Rabada part of the T20 World Cup squad.

<h2>Over the course of a season, six players of colour are required to be in the South Africa playing XI including two from the black African community</h2>

Cricket South Africa (CSA) has been criticised for failing to meet "transformational targets" with only one black African in Kagiso Rabada part of the T20 World Cup squad.
The 15-man provisional squad includes six players of colour including Rabada.
Over the course of a season, six players of colour are required to be in the South Africa playing XI including two from the black African community. With Rabada being the only black African in the squad, the national team is set to miss its target.
The other players of colour include Reeza Hendricks, Bjorn Fortuin, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi and Ottniel Baartman.
Former South Africa Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula questioned the make-up of the squad.
"Only 1 African player selected in the Proteas Team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 Team. Definitely a reserval (reversal) of the gains of transformation and doesn't reflect fair representation of all South Africans in the national cricket team," Mbalula wrote on X.
On SABC Sport, former CSA and ICC president Ray Mali said the game is heading backwards in the country.
"I believe a lot has been achieved, but I believe we have gone backwards in terms of cricket &ndash; we have taken a step backwards instead of going forward," said Mali.
"I cannot understand why we can't have a (larger) number of black players in the South African cricket team at this day and age &ndash; no, it's not acceptable.
"We have betrayed the people who asked us to negotiate unity for this country. Players are mentored or monitored right from their early days up to the top, so you know which players will represent South Africa." At the moment, CSA doesn't have a committee of selectors and the team is picked by head coaches Shukri Conrad (Tests) and Rob Walter (white-ball cricket).
Walter defended the 15-men picked for the ICC event in Americans next month, saying the domestic circuit did not have enough depth to pick a more diverse unit.
"The system needs to really up the ante so that in six months, 12 months, or two years' time, and in particular when we reach the 2027 [ODI] World Cup at home, that the demographics and the representation in our team starts to look a bit different," Walter was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
Lungi Ngidi, also a black African, is one of the travelling reserves but doesn't feature in the main squad.

As a consequence, the 28-year-old will miss Punjab's last two league fixtures.

PBKS' Kagiso Rabada returns to South Africa, to miss last two IPL games

As a consequence, the 28-year-old will miss Punjab's last two league fixtures.

Punjab Kings pacer Kagiso Rabada has returned home to South Africa after suffering a lower limb soft tissue infection during the ongoing IPL.&nbsp; A statement by Cricket South Africa revealed that upon reaching South Africa, Rabada consulted a specialist and is being closely monitored by the Cricket South Africa medical team.&nbsp; As a consequence, the 28-year-old will miss Punjab's last two league fixtures. PBKS have already been eliminated from the current season.&nbsp; The CSA statement further said, 'His preparation for the upcoming ICC Men&rsquo;s T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA are not expected to be affected.'&nbsp;

Pacer Gerald Coetzee, who has taken 5 wickets in 2 ODIs so far, has been included in the 15-man squad.

<h2>Pacer Gerald Coetzee, who has taken 5 wickets in 2 ODIs so far, has been included in the 15-man squad.</h2>

Cricket South Africa has unveiled the 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, set to be held in India. The squad will be led by captain Temba Bavuma.
One notable inclusion in South Africa's World Cup lineup is the promising right-arm pacer, Gerald Coetzee, who made his international debut earlier this year. Coetzee has already made an impact with five wickets in just two one-day international appearances, including a stellar three-wicket performance on his ODI debut.
The team boasts a wealth of experience in the batting department, featuring the likes of Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, and Rassie van der Dussen. Cricket South Africa also confirmed that Quinton de Kock will retire from the 50-over format at the end of the World Cup.
In the fast-bowling department, South Africa will rely on the firepower of Kagiso Rabada, supported by the talents of Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi, among others.
Considering that the tournament will be held in India, spinners are expected to play a crucial role in the subcontinent. South Africa have included the spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, both of whom are equipped to excel in these conditions.
South Africa's campaign in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 will commence on October 7 with a face-off against Sri Lanka in Delhi.
South Africa squad: Temba Bavuma (c), Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Sisanda Magala, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Tabraiz Shamsi,&nbsp;

Winning the toss, Pakistan decided to bat first. However, after losing their star opener Mohd Rizwan in the first over itself, the Men in Green were quickly reduced to 43-4 in 7 overs. The only bright spot during the initial overs was Mohd Haris who smashed a quick 28 in 11 balls. Theron, Iftikar Ahmed and Shadab Khan took matters into their hands as they lifted the sinking side with brisk 50s. While Iftikhar Ahmed made 51 in 35 balls, Shadab, took just 20 balls to hit his 2nd half-century of the ongoing tournament to propel Pakistan to a daunting 185. Anrich Nortje was the most successful bowler for South Africa with figures of 4/41.

In reply, South Africa&rsquo;s game plan was hindered early with Shaheen Shah Afridi ousting the dangerous Quinton de Kock and Rilee Rossouw in the first 2 overs itself. Temba Bavuma however tried to bring the game back on track with a 19-ball-36, but he fell prey to Shadab Khan who also ousted Aiden Markram in the same 7th over before rain interrupted play. South Africa were set a revised target of 142 runs in 14 overs via the DLS method, they needed 73 off five overs after rain cut short the game by six overs.

T20 World Cup 2022: South Africa's Anrich Nortje wants two bouncers per over in T20s

Should we have two bouncers in an over in T20 cricket?
Anrich Nortje certainly thinks so. Check out what he said ahead of his side's crucial encounter against India in Perth.

#INDvSA #T20WorldCup

Calling the Proteas' pace attack 'one of the best' in the world, Anrich Nortje urged his fellow countrymen to not get carried away on the bouncy Perth track

South African pace bowler Anrich Nortje believes allowing two bouncers in an over in T20 cricket will make the contest between bat and ball more exciting.
Currently, a bowler is allowed to bowl two bouncers in an over in both Tests and ODIs, while there's just one allowed per over in T20s.
Speaking on the eve of the all-important match against India, Nortje said that on bouncy tracks like the one in Perth, it's important that the bowlers don't get carried away with only one bouncer available per over. He further added that having two bumpers would have been unbelievable in these conditions.

Nortje, who took a sensational 4/10 against Bangladesh, hailed his country's pace battery as 'one of the best' in the world.
Stating how they are backing themselves to do well against the Indians, he said South Africa have a lot of variety in their attack and they are hoping to keep their momentum going against the Men in Blue on Sunday.

While the Punjab Kings has only played one game so far in the IPL where they won against RCB in a high scoring thriller, Kolkata on the other hand has played twice in IPL 2022.

KKR would need to sort out their batting order as well as their death bowling in order to progress well in the tournament. Shreyas Iyer has been on point with his captaincy so far in the 2 games this season but the team would want Iyer the batter to also step up and score runs. The opening pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer are also struggling to find their feat which leaves the brittle middle order exposed. However, on the bright side, spin twins Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine have been in good touch along with the enforcer Andre Russell. Punjab Kings had a stunning start to their season after chasing down a 200+ total against a spirited RCB in the opening game. The bowling unit might just get a major shot in the arm as South African pacer Kagiso Rabada has joined the team after national duty. The batting on the other hand looks more or less in place but a lot will be expected from captain and opener Mayank Agarwal. His opening partner Shikhar Dhawan looked in good touch and Punjab’s success in IPL 2022 will depend heavily on this pair.

With Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Marco Jansen, and Lungi Ngidi being the core of South Africa's bowling attack, it is still not certain whether they would be released by their board before the Test series against Bangladesh.
Moreover, Delhi Capitals would be fretting over the fitness of Nortje who has not bowled a lot since November and failed to find a place in the ODI series vs Bangladesh.
