NEW DELHI: The National Anti-Doping Agency (Nada) has expanded its purview and included more elite cricketers in its comprehensive anti-doping programme. Nada has prepared a new roster of names under the 'Registered Testing Pool' (RTP) for the year 2025. The list includes several top, centrally-contracted cricketers – men's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, Test vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah, ODI team vice-captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant being the prominent ones.
Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, Sanju Samson and Tilak Verma are also in the new list. The women cricketers in the list are opener Shafali Verma, all-rounder Deepti Sharma and medium pacer Renuka Singh Thakur.
