This drug is used to enhance performance. It is used to increase muscle mass, speed up recovery.
While the cricketer name not revealed, she is an all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh and played in BCCI Under-23 T20 Trophy.
Last year, Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw was suspended for using a banned substance. Earlier this year, NADA had let off Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul with warnings for not disclosing their whereabouts.
