Cracking down on the menace of age fudging prevalent in age group cricket, the CAB, at its cricket committee meeting, also decided to ban 42 players for two years.
"Next time, we will be stricter. A coaching centre will be banned for life time, while a player for 10 years to take part in any CAB organised tournament if found guilty of age fudging. We want to set a precedent to curb the menace," CAB joint secretary Subir Ganguly said.
Hailing the decision, an official of the Sourav Ganguly Academy in Saltlake said, "We never checked their certificates thinking that it's done by the CAB in a tournament.
"But this would not happen again as we would cross check the birth certificates with the municipal corporations from here on.
