BCCI updates India U-19 Squad following Rohit Yadav's age discrepancy

India's Under-19 cricket team faced a last-minute change to its squad after Rohit Yadav was found to have falsified his age. Initially listed as 18, Yadav's true age was revealed through a pre-season document from the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), showing he was born in 2006 rather than 2007. This discrepancy led to a two-year ban by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), forcing the organization to withdraw Yadav from the squad for the upcoming series against Australia. Despite earning recognition during a tour against Sri Lanka, Yadav will miss the matches. He was replaced by Aryan Savsani in the One-Day squad and Tanmay Baloda in the Multi-Day squad, with Lakshya Raichandani set to captain the team starting September 18.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the factual development surrounding the age discrepancy and subsequent squad revision without overtly favoring any political stance. It reports on the administrative decision made by BCCI based on documented evidence, without commentary on the broader implications of age fraud,官
