BCCI Revises India's U19 Squad for Australia Series After Withdrawing Rohit Yadav Due to Age Fraud
The BCCI replaced Rohit Yadav after an age-verification exercise found multiple date-of-birth changes and imposed a two-year ban, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India banned Rohit Yadav for two years with immediate effect after discovering date of birth discrepancies in his Aadhaar records.
- Previously, the leg-spinner earned an India U19 call-up after impressing at the junior level, including six wickets in a Youth Test against Sri Lanka.
- The Junior Cricket Committee named Saurashtra Cricket Association's Aryan Savsani as the One-Day replacement and Haryana Cricket Association's Tanmay Baloda to the Multi-Day squad.
- India U19 will play three ODIs and two Youth Tests against Australia, with all three one-day matches and the first red-ball fixture in Rajkot and the final test in Ahmedabad.
- The BCCI's mandatory age-verification exercise uncovered the Aadhaar discrepancies, which overshadowed Rohit's rapid rise through the youth system and underscores the board's eligibility compliance protocols.
