However, the new measures are strict if a player does not use the voluntary system before mid-September and later turns out to be obsolete. “However, if registered players do not disclose the facts and are found to have submitted false/manipulated BCCI evidence documents, they will be banned for two years, and once the two-year ban is over, they will not be allowed to participate in BCCI age group tournaments, as well as age group tournaments organized by state entities.” New Delhi [India], August 18 (ANI): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided not to consider the 2020-21 national season when deciding on the limit on players` participation in U-19 tournaments for the upcoming 2021-22 season due to covid-19. According to the new rules of the BCCI, which were published on the 3rd. In August 2020, there is an upper limit to the number of U19 participations for a player. However, the Board of Directors decided to make an exception this season as no U-19 games were played in the 2020-21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a letter to the national associations, BCCI Medical Advisor Abhijit Salvi wrote: “Since the BCCI U19 tournaments did not take place during the 2020-21 season due to the pandemic, they will not be considered within the participation limit when deciding on the eligibility of U-19 players for the 2021-22 season. Players who are still eligible to participate in U-19 tournaments this season due to their chronological age may participate in the 2021-22 BCCI U-19 season. To better inform the clarification, he wrote: “For clarity, see the following examples: Example 1. August 2020 a maximum of 2 seasons with U19 participate. He played a BCCI under-19 match for the first time in the 2019-2020 season. According to the new rules, the 2020-21 season should be his last year of participation.
However, as BCCI U-19 games were not played in the 2020-21 season, Player X is allowed to participate in bcCI U-19 tournaments in the 2021-22 season, provided they are eligible based on their date of birth. “Example 2. Player X can participate in a maximum of 4 seasons with U19 according to the new rules of August 3, 2020. He played in a BCCI under-19 match for the first time during the 2017-2018 season. According to the new rules, the 2020-21 season should be his last year of participation. However, as BCCI U-19 matches were not played during the 2020-21 season, Player X is allowed to participate in the 2021-22 U-19 tournaments as long as he is eligible based on his date of birth. (ANI) BCCI has also set up a dedicated age fraud helpline and has asked everyone to report age-related fraud under these numbers to a 24/7 hotline (9820556566/9136694499). Mr. Arun Singh Dhumal, Honorary Treasurer, BCCI: “BCCI has consistently strived to take strict measures to eliminate age-related fraud. We believe these additional methods will help BCCI solve the problem of age and residency fraud. 4. Only players between the ages of 14 and 16 can register for the BCCI U16 Age Group Tournament.
The BCCI statement goes on to say that players who have registered their date of birth after two years of birth will only be allowed to play in the event for limited years. Rahul Dravid, Head of Cricket, NCA: “Age fraud is a serious matter and harms the health of the sport. Many teenagers who are supposed to play in a certain age group do not succeed because of age fraud. As the BCCI takes strict measures to curb this, players are only advised to come forward and follow the board`s instructions. Another decision of the BCCI was to change the guidelines for the age group of cricketers.

Salvi says one of the options being considered was to impose a five-year ban, but this was seen as too harsh as it could end a cricketer`s career. “The current rule is that if we catch someone, we block them for two seasons, but then we say two years, and they`re not allowed to play age group tournaments. After these two years, they are only allowed to play senior tournaments.
If you are good enough to play senior cricket at the age of 17 or 18, then you deserve your place. But then you should leave the age group tournaments to the kids,” he said. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), as the governing body of cricket sport in India, is responsible for ensuring that appropriate controls and protocols are in place to ensure a level playing field for players` participation in its age group tournaments. Players must be selected before the 15th. September 2020, send a signed letter/email with supporting documents to the BCCI Age Verification Department stating their actual date of birth. However, the disclosure system does not apply to players who have committed residency fraud – presenting fake certificates to show their eligibility to play for a state – and these cricketers, if caught, risk a two-year ban. On the question of why players who have committed home fraud do not benefit from the voluntary disclosure system, Salvi said: “Home fraud is mainly committed by elderly people and who knowingly did so. So you shouldn`t be spared. Whereas, as in the age group (scam), we don`t know if they did it knowingly or if someone else did it for them. So we`re giving them a chance,” Salvi said, adding that up to the U23 level, “there`s not a lot of residency fraud.” To combat age-related fraud, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has published a voluntary disclosure system for registered players, as is the case for income tax debtors.
The aim of the programme is to get cricketers to confess to falsifying their date of birth. If they do so before September 15 of this year, they will not face a two-year ban and will be allowed to participate in age group tournaments for which they are eligible during the next season. The growing number of players banned for age forgery was partly due to the establishment of a special helpline for clues. The review of 5,000 age-related documents was conducted by Salvi and his team last season, 5% of which turned out to be false. 1.

At this moment, these poor children do not know, they just follow the instructions. Someone else gets these fake certificates for them. Eventually, we catch them and they are banned. To give them a second chance, we did it,” Salvi said.
Dr. Abhijit Salvi, BCCI`s medical and anti-doping adviser, said the brainstorming sessions began in October and culminated 10 months later with the announcement of new measures on Monday. Salvi hopes that the hotline and voluntary fraud disclosure system aged 24 ×7 will encourage more cricketers to come forward and confess. A total of eight people, including a backend team that handles online registration and three who review all documents, make up the age verification service. Until the age of 16, the TW3 or Tanner-Whitehouse method – in which an X-ray of the wrist is examined by the BCCI panel of radiologists to determine bone maturity – is performed at the same time as the document review. For people over the age of 16, the test is not accurate and the BCCI must rely on a thorough review of the documents submitted. “All the while, I, Rahul Dravid, Saba Karim (GM Cricket Operations) and the previous management were thinking about ways to combat age-related fraud. We had many meetings and decided to publish these new guidelines. In the future, we may realize that something more needs to be done.
We will add them,” Salvi told the Indian Express.
