SA pace bowler Rabada tested positive for cocaine

The 30-year-old, ranked No.2 in the Test bowler rankings, said he had returned an adverse analytical finding for the use of a recreational drug.

Rabada had been tested in January when he was playing in the SA20 for MI Cape Town and SAIDS said in a report published this week it had detected the presence of Benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine.

Rabada returned from his suspension to play two matches for Gujarat, who finished third in the standings.

He is due to spearhead South Africa's bowling attack in the World Test Championship final at Lord's where they face Australia from June 11-15.
