Punjab wicketkeeper-batsman Abhishek Gupta, who scored 202 on his Ranji debut last season, has been handed a retrospective eight-month ban by BCCI for failing a dope test. The 27-year-old "had inadvertently ingested a prohibited substance, which can be commonly found in cough syrups" during a domestic T20 competition in January. Yusuf Pathan was also handed a doping ban in January.
