putrevus Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 These people are bloody cheats. ICC should punish these morons.This affects under-19 teams .It is unfair to ask boys to play with these men. Gollum and Real McCoy 2 Link to comment

It was conspicuous how hard they tried to be clean-shaven. Mohammed Musa I think one of them was, there's no way that guy was u19. Didn't matter much, still got spanked by big Papi. As it should be.

philcric Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Afridi says he was born in 1975. He says he was 19 when he scored that 37 ball century in 1996. Zero_Unit, express bowling and velu 3 Link to comment

G_B_ Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Mohamed Shami and Munaf Patel come to mind from India.... There is something common with them and Afridi which makes them fudge their age. raki05, velu and sandsaims 3 Link to comment
G_B_ Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This is the Munaf Patel story btw https://zeenews.india.com/sports/cricket/unbelievable-sharne-warne-claims-munaf-patel-lied-about-his-age-for-ipl-contract_1898453.html Retired at the official age of 35...so realistically 41. Link to comment
maniac Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Was this ever a myth that he was 4-5 yrs older than his “official” age? Link to comment

It is not pak but entire south Asian teams. Bone test should be mandatory and conducted by icc any team access of 2-4 hiding their age then that team should be barred from junior cricket. BTW look at Rashid khan. On papers he is barely 20 but he could easily be in late 20s. Link to comment

nevada Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 What myth? No one in their right mind believed his official age to be true. He looked about 20-21 when his career started, which has now been confirmed as fact. express bowling, raki05 and maniac 3 Link to comment

Looks like his year of birth got recorded as 1998 instead of 1988 for some reason. Edited May 3, 2019 by nevada ShebbySB and raki05 2 Link to comment
