Jammu and Kashmir pacer Rasikh Salam might receive a reprieve on his two year ban for age fudging after reports suggested that the BCCI was looking to relax the punishment on the same. Salam, who played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, was reprimanded for submitting faulty birth certificate.

Times of India has reported that the new age-fraud rule was discussed by BCCI officials at the latest COA meeting which was held on June 29 in the capital. Elaborating on the discussions of the meeting, TOI also revealed that according to the new rules, all cricketers who were caught in the same category would be allowed participation in inter-club matches. However, this would not be applicable in the first year of the ban but rather in the second year.

As far as international cricket is concerned, there was a huge change in the scheduling of the South Africa series as well. Following Jharkhand Cricket Association’s request to change the venue for the second Test due to the Durga Puja celebrations in Ranchi, the COA has decided to hand the hosting rights of the second Test to Pune. Ranchi will now hold the third Test of the series from October 19 to October 23.

There was also some good news of Afghanistan from the meeting as the members decided to allocate Lucknow’s Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Cricket Stadium to the Asian country to host their home matches.
