BCCI Hands Bengal Leg-Spinner Rohit Yadav 2-Year Ban for Age Fraud, CAB Crackdown on 62 Cricketers
The ban follows an age-verification review that found multiple date-of-birth changes in his records, and the board may name a replacement for India U-19.
- The BCCI banned Bengal cricketer Rohit Yadav for two years with "immediate effect" over age record discrepancies, as sources confirmed to Sportstar that all affiliated state units were informed.
- Earlier this year, the Cricket Association of Bengal began scrutinizing players' age documents per BCCI directives, uncovering significant inconsistencies in Yadav's Aadhaar records during the verification exercise.
- Official records show Yadav's birth year changed repeatedly: July 7, 2007 when registered with CAB in 2014, shifted to 2006 by 2017, then to 2009 in 2021, while his address also changed from Uttar Pradesh to Howrah and Liluah.
- Yadav's removal from the India U-19 squad comes shortly after his selection for the one-day and multi-day series against Australia Under-19 scheduled for Rajkot later this month, with the selection committee expected to name a replacement.
- The leg-spinner's career had been ascending following six wickets in the Youth Test series against Sri Lanka U-19, but his momentum has been abruptly halted by the disciplinary action and official investigations.
