BCCI expands junior selectors' role to include drug and betting education
BCCI broadens junior selectors' duties to cover education on drugs, betting and match-fixing.
CricHubb26 Aug 2026
The BCCI has asked members of the Junior Cricket Committee to educate young players on the risks of drugs, betting and match-fixing. Applications for the expanded role close on September 5.
The committee previously handled only age-group selection. Now members must run awareness sessions at state academies and national camps.
The move comes after recent cases involving under-19 players in state leagues. The Board hasn't released details of any specific incidents.
CricHubb Take
The policy shift moves selection committees from pure talent identification toward institutional responsibility for player welfare and integrity education.
