The substance found in cough syrup gets Prithvi Shaw eight-month ban

Also, the reports are claiming that the ban will be deemed to have started to run from March 16, 2019, to November 15. In this period he will not be able to play cricket for the country in any format. This is a bad phase for him because he is still young and he will definitely bounce back.
The BCCI had earlier in a statement said, “Shaw had provided a urine sample as part of the BCCI’s anti-doping testing program during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match on February 22, 2019, in Indore. His sample was subsequently tested and found to contain Terbutaline.” Overall, it is shocking news for him as well as for the fans.

Also, after seeing all the evidence the BCCI has decided that only a 8-month ban is important nothing is important so far.
