The Board of Control for Cricket in India has imposed a two-year suspension on U-19 leg-spinner Rohit Yadav after discrepancies were found in his age records.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a two-year suspension for Rohit Yadav, the leg‑spin bowler who had been part of the India Under‑19 squad. The disciplinary action stems from inconsistencies discovered in the documentation of his age.
In a statement released on Monday, the BCCI said the irregularities violated its eligibility criteria and that Yadav will be barred from participating in any cricketing activity under the board’s jurisdiction for the duration of the suspension. The player is also prohibited from representing India at any junior or senior level until the ban expires.
The decision underscores the board’s commitment to strict compliance with age‑verification protocols, especially ahead of upcoming international youth tournaments. While Yadav’s legal counsel has not commented, the BCCI indicated that the player may appeal the ruling through its internal grievance mechanism.
