In a release, the CAB said it “identified certain discrepancies/inconsistencies” in Rohit’s documents during a routine verification process and promptly informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). “Following due examination, the BCCI took appropriate action and removed the player from the India under-19 squad for the Australia series.”
