Five Indian Players Who Fudged Their Age To Play Age-Group Tournaments

Many would not have expected Nitish Rana’s name in the list, but, indeed, he was also caught for hiding his real age to get the place in the age-level competition. BCCI banned him ahead of the tournament in 2015, however, the case against him is still going on.

Also, Rana is now 26-years-old, so he is ineligible to participate in the age-group cricket. He has established himself as the pivotal player for the Delhi team. The southpaw also plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League(IPL). Ahead of the IPL 2020, he was again under the scanner for age fudging and might have lost his place from KKR, but before that, the league got postponed.
