In India, there have been frequent cases of people playing cricket by giving wrong age in different sports. This problem has been going on for many years, due to which many players could not get proper opportunities. In this article, we will tell you about such players who have played cricket by hiding their age.

Amit Mishra suddenly made a big revelation

Team India's experienced spinner Amit Mishra has openly admitted to 'age fraud' and said that his coach did this to start his cricket career. Let us tell you that Amit Mishra made his international debut for India in the year 2003. At that time he had told his age as 21 years, but his real age was 22 years.

Recently, while talking on a podcast, Amit Mishra said that I tell you that there is a difference of one year in my age and my coach helped me in this. I did not even know about this. The coach called my house and asked for one more year for me. This is a very emotional story. I was surprised and asked how? He said that from today you are one year younger. Now you have two more years. I accepted it.

These players were banned for two years

In the age fraud case, Manjot Kalra, who led India to its fourth Under-19 World Cup title in 2018, was banned from playing Ranji Trophy for one year and age group tournaments for two years in 2020. Earlier in 2019, Rasikh Dar of Jammu and Kashmir was also found guilty of fraud and was banned for two years.

Rasikh made his IPL debut for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. His age was said to be around 17 years at that time but his age was around 20. Rasikh Salam played for the Delhi Capitals team in IPL 2024.

Nitish Rana also did a fraud in his age

Nitish Rana, who made his debut for Team India in 2021, is also among the players who were banned by the BCCI from playing in age-group cricket competitions. Earlier, Ankit Bawne had also done something similar. Bawne's official date of birth is December 17, 1992, while the passport had September 1, 1992. For this reason, he was not selected in the 2012 Under 19 World Cup. Apart from this, Delhi cricketer Prince Ram Niwas Yadav was banned by the BCCI from domestic cricket for two seasons. He also made a mistake in his age.
