Under 15 Asian cricket championship final

is to be decided between Kuwait and Singapore...surprised...

where are the indian, pakistan, SL and even the Bangles Teams...

they and other teams were disqualified for entering over aged boys.

because birth records are not super accurate in all countries, it was agreed birth certificates would not be used but that xray scans of bone density would be used to determine the age of each boy....any country found to have 2 or more team members exceeding the age restriction would be disqualified...

all countries other than Kuwait and Singapore were found to have exceeded the age (bent elbow) law and so these two are playing for the championship without having to play a qualification match

Actually, it seems the tournament was structured for non-Test nations.

According to that story , it seems Kuwait was disqualified, but still allowed to play in the final.

The Asian Cricket Council had taken drastic action on Saturday and kicked out hosts and defending champions Nepal as well as Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Thailand after its medical board reported that all the squads from those countries contained players over the stipulated age limit. Sunday's semi-finals - Nepal v Singapore and Afghanistan v Hong Kong - were scrapped.

There was also this lovely incident...

The tournament had already got off to a bad start when UAE were sent home as their squad did not contain any UAE passport-holders.

Love it!
