BCCI bans India Under-19 cricketer Rohit Yadav for age fraud
The BCCI suspended India Under-19 leg-spinner Rohit Yadav for two years after age verification documents showed discrepancies.
The BCCI imposed a two-year suspension on India Under-19 leg-spinner Rohit Yadav after discovering significant discrepancies in his age verification documents. The ban was announced shortly after his selection for the upcoming one-day and multi-day series against Australia Under-19.
Yadav was named in the squad before the discrepancies came to light. The board acted under its age-verification protocols for junior cricket.
The series against Australia is scheduled later this month. India will name a replacement for the suspended player before the tour begins.

The ban underscores that age verification remains a live compliance issue rather than a solved administrative task. Other boards will study the length of the penalty as a precedent for similar cases.
