Stokell in ‘voluntary’ ban after medication error
Ireland cricketer Rebecca Stokell has begun a voluntary suspension after an inadvertent breach of anti-doping reporting rules for prescription medication. She accepts responsibility and says the substance was not used for performance-related reasons; the ICC is investigating.
The ICC says Stokell returned an adverse finding for a specified substance after Ireland’s defeat by Sri Lanka at the Women’s T20 World Cup in June 2026. The 26-year-old has played 109 times for Ireland since making her international debut in 2017. Cricket Ireland says it has supported her and will continue educating players about their anti-doping responsibilities.
In short
- Rebecca Stokell has accepted responsibility for a reporting breach.
- The substance was not performance-enhancing.
- She is suspended voluntarily while the ICC investigates.
