India's T20 World Cup-winning players Abhishek Sharma and Axar Patel are the latest additions to the National Anti-Doping Agency's Registered Testing Pool (RTP), which usually consists of athletes for the second half of this year. Abhishek and Axar have also come in place of Smriti Mandhana and Shreyas Iyer, according to the latest list of 348 athletes in the RTP, which requires them to inform the anti-doping agency of their whereabouts and to be available for testing at specific times.
If they fail to inform of their whereabouts three times, it's considered a doping violation.
The names of the other cricketers remain unchanged in this list, which includes India's Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Arshdeep Singh, and Tilak Varma.
