BCCI steps in after 62 players, including U19 World Cup winner Rohit, are declared ineligible by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) for registration or transfer for tournaments in the 2026–27 and 2027–28 seasons. The action follows findings that the players’ documents and age records contain discrepancies.
According to NDTV, CAB’s decision is linked to suspected age fraud, with the ineligibility applying to the listed seasons. The report indicates Rohit is among those identified as having submitted documentation that does not align with the age requirements for competition eligibility. The source presents BCCI’s involvement as an escalation or follow-up step to the CAB findings, though it does not detail further appeals, investigations, or outcomes for individual players.
Across the available coverage, the common elements are the number of players affected, the reason cited—documentation and age-related discrepancies—and the specific tournament seasons covered by the ineligibility order.
