BCCI Bans Bengal Leg-Spinner Rohit Yadav for Two Years Over Age Fraud
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has imposed a two-year ban on Bengal leg-spinner Rohit Yadav for age fraud after discrepancies were found in his birth records and Aadhaar documents. Rohit, who recently played for India’s Under-19 team, had multiple birth certificates showing different years of birth, making him ineligible for age-group cricket. The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has also declared 62 other players ineligible over similar age and documentation issues, including former U-19 World Cup winner Ravi Kumar.
