The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) officials on Wednesday (December 25) arrived at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground for 'in-competition' testing of cricketers participating in a Ranji Trophy game between Delhi and Hyderabad.

As per a report published in PTI, two representatives – a Dope Control Officer and Chaperone – collected samples of the players during the lunch time.
"NADA officials came for random testing. As per our knowledge, they will be randomly selecting one player each from either side. Today, Hyderabad opener Tanmay Agarwal and Delhi opener Kunal Chandela gave their urine samples," a senior DDCA official told PTI.
It is pertinent to mention here that the BCCI has come under NADA's ambit this season. Apparently, two cricketers will be randomly tested (in-competition) in the matches they want to.
However, it could not be determined how many Ranji games have been assigned for in-competition testing by the NADA.
"They are supposed to collect samples in the U-19, U-23 and women's matches also," a senior BCCI official said.
