In a recent turn of events, the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) finds itself grappling with an unforeseen controversy involving its under-23 players.
Last week, during a routine luggage check at Chandigarh airport, authorities stumbled upon a cache of undeclared alcohol in the bags of five promising young cricketers, putting their burgeoning careers in jeopardy and raising eyebrows on team discipline.
Chandigarh Union Territory Cricket Association's secretary, Devinder Sharma, confirmed the incident, clarifying that the act violates cricket association rules rather than constituting a criminal offense.
