Like good sportsmen, South African players uncomplainingly participate in the randomly conducted drug tests, in order to ensure that the game is clean and they set a good precedent for the younger players.

One of the stern challenges that any professional sport faces is keeping it free from doping. It’s same for cricket and over the years some big names have fallen victims to this, with some resulting in turning ugly and tragic – like the death of English cricketer Tom Maynard.

This has prompted the cricket boards and International Cricket Council (ICC) to take stern measures to curb it in attempt to keep the game clean and provide everyone a level playing ground. See the entire process as protean stars Faf du Plessis, Kyle Abbott and Morne Morkel, touring Australia, undergo the test and talk about it.
