The BCCI has issued a clarification on ‘fraudulent advertisements’ promising aspirants admission into its National Cricket Academy in exchange for money, asserting that admission to the elite facility in Bengaluru is a ‘merit-based process’.
“The BCCI wishes to clarify that it does not charge any money from cricketers to use its facility. The BCCI has its set of protocols, and entry into the NCA is a merit-based process. The NCA is open to only BCCI’s contracted players, players in the targetedh group, and cricketers recommended by State Associations. It is not open to any agency other than the ones mentioned above,” the Indian cricket board stated.
“Cricketers, coaches and the public at large are advised to exercise caution and not fall prey to such fake and fraudulent posts and approach the respective State Associations for guidance,” the statement concludes.
