The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has issued a notice to wrestler-turned-politician Vinesh Phogat for a whereabouts failure, requiring her to respond within 14 days. This follows her recent retirement announcement after being disqualified from the Paris Olympics for being 100 grams overweight before her gold medal bout. As a member of NADA's Registered Testing Pool, Vinesh is required to provide her availability for dope tests. The notice states that she was unavailable for a scheduled test on September 9 at her residence in Kharkhoda village.
India launched their long Test season with a dominant 280-run victory over Bangladesh in Chennai, finishing the match in just three days and a session. R. Ashwin was the standout performer, achieving both a century and a five-wicket haul—his fourth such accomplishment in his career. Despite early struggles, India rallied thanks to a record 199-run partnership between Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. The Indian bowlers then restricted Bangladesh to 234 in their second innings, showcasing their skill on a challenging pitch. This victory puts India 1-0 up in the two-match series.
