GUWAHATI, March 29 – Major anomalies have been unearthed regarding the ages of the players in the Dilip Sarma Memorial Inter District School Tournament which is simultaneously going on at Nagaon, Guwahati and Maligaon.

The tournament was introduced by the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) last year for the school students in the age group of under 15 years. But it has been appeared that almost all the participating schools have fielded over aged players in the tournament violating the rules.

Based on a complaint filed by Loyla English Medium School, Nagaon, the ACA has carried out medical examination to proof the ages of the players of HSMP School, Nazira and found all the 14 players of the team over aged. Following the medical report the ACA disqualified the Nazira team from the championship. The ACA secretary today said several players of schools like Dhemaji, Mangaldai and Kokrajhar are also found over aged. ASSAM TRIBUNE
