This is what happens when you born illegally. I'm sure none of them have their birth certificate!!
illegaly ?? birth certificates in our part of the world can be made by giving few bucks .People do various things to get upper hand .

..But overall, what advantage has it given to Pak for shadowing Afridi's age? he will retire eventually when his body will tire I was 16 when I got my drivers license showing 18 and then paid some paltry fine to get age adjusted.

I can concur. I was in Pakistan 2 years ago and met-up with Amir's coach who watched me play for a month. He said if I stay in Pakistan, he will drop my age -3 years on my id and get me into the squad. I was baffled at the way he was so calm and normal when he said it.

Not in the senior squad, but they have an advantage in picking squads for U-19 tournaments. In India also this practise is very prevalent (not in the cricket field though). In the older generations ages were routinely fudged to improve chances of school admissions, prolong retirement age etc. Now with Hospitals themselves giving birth certificates and government jobs going down, people dont do it that much anymore. But is there any foolproof way of determining a person's age?

Birth Certificate I guess... no other way really.
