J&K Extends Probe Into U-14 Cricket Team Selection to Jan. 6

The panel is reviewing UT-level match score sheets to assess compliance with selection norms after complaints over Jammu representation.

Overview

The J&K Directorate of Youth Services and Sports formed a five-member committee announced by Director General Anuradha Gupta to review the U-14 boys cricket team selection.
The committee’s mandate is to scrutinise score sheets and related records from Inter-District UT-level matches to verify adherence to prescribed guidelines.
An initial one-day reporting deadline was revised after the panel sought more time, with the report now due on January 6, according to the directorate.
Parents who raised concerns about underrepresentation of Jammu players have questioned the review and urged fresh selections with medical age verification.
The 69th National School Games are scheduled in Sikar, Rajasthan, from January 19 to 23, with the J&K team slated to depart on January 16.
