Am I reading this right? How would you know where you are at in three months advance? Does our players already gave their whereabouts for the next 3 months? What if someone takes a vacation all of a sudden, or goes camping for a week?

One can't plan ahead in details, or they can?

The players are not against anti-doping tests but what is the clause in the amended code that they are unhappy about?

The new code mandates the establishment of an International Registered Testing Pool (IRTP) of players who are nominated for random testing based on their ICC rankings.Players from this pool have to inform the ICC at the beginning of every quarter (three-month period) of the year, a location and time that they will be available for an hour each day in that quarter for testing. If a player changes his/her schedule in between, then he/she needs to update the whereabouts information to the nodal officer either online or even through SMS. However, if the player is not in the location at the time specified, he/she will have a strike recorded against his name. Three such strikes and the player will have breached the code and can face up to a two-year suspension from the game.
