CP Goenka International School (Juhu) had to forfeit their Mumbai Schools Sports Association Harris Shield inter-school cricket match against Saraswati Vidya Mandir HS (Mahim) at Azad Maidan yesterday as most of their players did not have their Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) identity cards.

As per the tournament's rules, all players participating in the Harris Shield must possess a MCA identity card which is to be shown to the umpires before the match. However, yesterday only four CP Goenka players — Aryan Irani, Akarsh Hirenwal, Ibrahim Shawl and Shresht Khetan — had MCA identity cards.
