There are many youngsters in the country who want to pursue cricket as a career not just because they are passionate about the game but also because cricket gives a chance to live a lavish life. Moreover, now a cricketer can earn good money even if he doesn’t play for the country as he can increase his fortune by performing well in the IPL only.
However, it also increases the chances of frauds as it has been noticed that some fraudsters have given fake advertisements in which they have promised admission to the budding cricketers in the National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru.
In order to save people from these fraudsters, the Board of Control for Cricket in India issued a statement which read, “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 targeted group, and cricketers recommended by State Associations. It is not open to any agency other than the ones mentioned above.”
The statement further 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.”
If you have seen such fake advertisements, report it to authorities.
