If this was deliberate' date=' I hope the BCCI penalizes him or gives him a ban for a few months.[/quote'] I'm sure it is deliberate, they all do it, and acknowledge it also, it's just that, there is no disciplinary action when such a case is found. He will be promoted to U22 instead of U19 thats all. For him it's a big concern though, captaining an India U19 team means something, Kaif, Kohli menaria all have hogged the limelight by being the captain of the U19 side.

lol' date='rocket.india ,great minds think alike :D[/quote'] I tell you one thing. In under age cricket, lot of players passed 20 plays as U19. My brother passed age 19 played U17 on fake age certificate issued from a school. They most are at least 2-3 years more than their actual age. There are very few who look like they belong to their age.

India U-19 captain dropped after fudging age New Delhi: The BCCI on Wednesday was left red-faced after Maharashtra batsman Ankit Bawne, who was named captain of the India U-19 squad for a quadrangular tournament, had to be dropped following revelations that he provided inaccurate information about his age. The BCCI named Unmukt Chand as the captain while Kumar Deobrat of Jharkhand was officially named the vice-captain. "As there is U-19 World Cup due to be held in Australia next year, the cut-off date for players eligible are those born on and after September 1, 1992," a senior board official informed. According to the BCCI database, Bawne's official date of birth is December 17, 1992, but now it has been learnt that his passport states a DOB that is before September 1, 1992. While chairman of junior selectors Abey Kuruvilla refused to comment on the issue, another member of the junior selection committee revealed what Bawne has told the board officials about the "age goof-up" in his passport. "Ankit told us that he got his passport made by an agent who had goofed up his date of birth due to which this discrepancy happened. Well, that issue can be sorted out but as of now we can't take any chance with him," the selection committee member preferring anonymity told PTI. However, it is learnt that no action will be taken against Bawne although it is the cricketer who has provided wrong information. http://cricketnext.in.com/news/india-u19-captain-dropped-after-fudging-age/60240-13.html :facepalm::facepalm:
