BCCI updates India U-19 Squad following Rohit Yadav's age discrepancy

## Rohit Yadav Withdrawn from Squad

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made changes to the Under-19 squad following an age discrepancy involving leg-spinner Rohit Yadav. Initially selected for the upcoming home series against Australia, Yadav has been removed from the team after it was discovered that his age was misrepresented by 27 months.

## Details of the Discrepancy

Yadav, who was listed as 18, was found to have a different birth year on his updated Aadhar card, leading to a two-year ban from youth cricket. The Cricket Association of Bengal's documentation revealed the inconsistency, prompting the BCCI to act.

## Squad Adjustments

In light of this, Aryan Savsani has been named as Yadav's replacement in the One-Day squad, while Tanmay Baloda joins the Multi-Day side. Lakshya Raichandani will lead the team in the series starting September 18.

## Background and Impact

Yadav had previously toured with the team against Sri Lanka, taking six wickets. However, due to the age fraud issue, he will not participate in the upcoming matches, impacting his cricketing prospects for the foreseeable future.
