Indian Chief Selector, Chetan Sharma, in a shocking revelation has said that few Indian players take performance enhancing injections to get fit.
During a sting operation conducted by Zee News, Sharma can be seen claiming that Indian players have perfect knowledge of dope tests and how to go avoid getting caught in them.
"Indian cricket team players take injection & get 100% fit even if they’re 80% fit. These are not pain killers. These injections contain drug which isn’t caught in dope test. They take injections and start playing," Sharma was quoted as saying by India.com.
"Jasprit Bumrah was unable to bend as he had a major injury other than that there are one or two players who take injections in private and say that they are fit to play," he added.
It must be noted that Bumrah suffered a back injury that ruled him out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
