Just about 2 months ago the Caribbean Regional Anti Doping Agency (RADA) carried out drugs tests on 32 West Indies cricketers who were part of the provisional Stanford Superstars squad.

Xaiver Marshall along with another player from the Leeward Islands tested positive during those tests.

This news was made public and did the rounds around mid September. The substance, however, for which they tested positive was not disclosed.

At that time, Donald Peters, the CEO of the WICB, said that appropriate action will be taken against Marshall.

I never heard about the news again.

There was no inquiry.

There was no action.

There was no news about a fine or a ban or even about Marshall escaping punishment.

Then the Stanford Superstars squad was announced and Marshall was not in it.

Considering that he had hit the record number of sixes in an ODI recently, to me the only reason he didn't make Stanford's squad was because of the positive dope test.

But then the West Indies announced the squad for the 3 ODIs against Pakistan that start tomorrow in Abu Dhabi.

To my surprise, Marshall was part of the squad!

He will most probably play tomorrow as well!

What happened to the positive dope test?

Was the test not accurate?

Was Marshall cleared?

What was the substance?

Did Marshall escape punishment?

What did the WICB do?

What did Marshall do?

What did RADA do?

What did WADA say?

What about the ICC?

Have I missed something?

Enlighten me please!
