Megan Schutt banned two matches over prescription medication breach
Australian fast bowler Megan Schutt received a two-match suspension on Thursday for violating prescription medication rules while out of competition.
Cricket Australia confirms the penalty
The governing body stated that Schutt failed to meet requirements under Sports Science and Sports Medicine guidelines. Officials noted the incident was a single occurrence unrelated to performance enhancement.
Player accepts the suspension
Schutt issued an apology for not meeting the standards expected of her during this period. She expressed regret for the attention the situation has generated and thanked supporters for their backing.
Matches she will miss
The ban prevents her from playing in the third T20 against New Zealand scheduled for Thursday. She will also be absent for the Adelaide Strikers opening game of the Women's Big Bash League later this month.
