The BCCI's doctors committee verified the age of 52 cricketers in the Under-16 category but only 19 passed the test, while 33 others were found to be overaged, Convenor of the Tournament Committee Asim Kumar Singh said.

The Tournament Committee yesterday at its meeting wanted to suspend the cricketers for five years, but reduced it to two years considering their career, Singh, who is also the Assistant Secretary of JSCA, said.
