Prithvi Shaw has seen enough highs and lows in his short career. If 2018 was all about highs — leading India to U-19 World Cup victory and scoring a century on his Test debut to become India's youngest centurion, this year has been mostly about experiencing lows. An ankle injury ruled him out of the Australia tour and yesterday he was rocked by the news of his suspension by the BCCI for doping violation. According to a BCCI release, Shaw, "inadvertently ingested a prohibited substance, which can be commonly found in cough syrups". Shaw was slapped a retrospective ban of eight months, starting from March 16 and ending on November 15. He is eligible to use BCCI or Mumbai Cricket Association facilities only from September 16. Vidarbha's Akshay Dullarwar was also slapped an eight-month ban for doping violation, while Rajasthan's junior cricketer Divya Gajraj was suspended for six months since he is a minor.
