NADA Issues First 'Missed Test' Notices to Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shafali Verma

The notice triggers a seven-day window for explanations that will determine next steps.

Overview

  • NADA, which issued the notices Saturday, recorded one whereabouts failure each and notified the BCCI and ICC while giving both players seven days to respond.
  • Dope Control Officers could not find Verma on November 7, 2025, or Jaiswal on December 17, 2025, and follow-up letters sent on February 18 and 20 drew no reply.
  • Athletes in the Registered Testing Pool must log a daily one-hour window and a precise location so testers can arrive unannounced for out-of-competition checks.
  • Three whereabouts failures within 12 months can constitute an anti-doping violation carrying up to a two-year ban, whereas a single missed test is treated as a warning.
  • The timing affects Jaiswal’s IPL campaign with Rajasthan Royals and Verma’s build-up to the Women’s T20 World Cup in England and Wales.
