U19 WC hero Manjot Kalra faces 1-year ban for alleged age fraud

Manjot Kalra who played a major role in India’s win at the Under-19 World Cup level is now banned from playing Ranji Trophy cricket for one year and age-level cricket for two years due to alleged age fraud.

Kalra, whose age as per BCCI records is 20 years 351 days, last week played for Delhi U-23 against Bengal and scored 80. He was in line to replace senior opener Shikhar Dhawan in the Ranji squad but as it now stands, he will not play any further.

Similarly, Nitish Rana and Shivam Mavi have been reported of the same issue. However, Rana is given time to produce furthermore documents.
