An 18-year-old girl cricketer has charged Alpesh Shah, the convenor of the under-19 selection committee, with attempt to sexually harass her, an allegation denied by Shah.

The girl's father Sandeep Thakkar told PTI here today that Alpesh had tried to sexually exploit her on the evening of September 23 when he had called her to the Holkar stadium for giving her "special blessings".
