According to the CAN member
Kiran Rana, the three failed the age test. “CAN has sent samples of 44 players
for the first phase of verification, out of which the ACC has cleared 34
players.”“CAN is planning to bring in new rules which will make it difficult
for the players and their parents to hide the actual age of the players,” said
Rana.
