Because Sumit Sharma, an Odisha cricketer, has presented several birth documents during his career, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended him for two years. Before the player’s first Ranji Trophy encounter of the season, the all-rounder received a letter of suspension from the governing body’s disciplinary committee. He traveled to Baroda with the team.
Tarini Sa will take Sumit Sharma place in the starting lineup for the first game, according to the Odisha Cricket Association (OCA).
According to sources, the birth certificate he provided during the 2015–16 season did not match up, leading to several rumors and ultimately leading to the board suspending him. Although he joined the team in Baroda, the cricketer was not included in the starting lineup.
“The BCCI has barred Sumit Sharma, an Odisha senior men’s team player, from participating in the BCCI domestic tournaments for a period of two years due to his presentation of numerous age certificates. In an explanation of the development, OCA secretary Sanjay Behera released a press release. “The certificates produced by him when he played at the junior level in the year 2015-16 do not match with the ones he produced for the current season.”
Baroda remains ahead of Odisha thanks to Jyotnil Singh’s half-century.
Day 1 lunchtime sees Baroda up 92/3 over Odisha. The hosts’ top order struggled to produce runs on the first day of the match, but Jyotnil Singh’s 51* kept the Vishnu Solanki-led team in the game. As Odisha looked to bundle them early in the hopes of grabbing the lead, Rajesh Mohanty and Suryakant Pradhan each claimed one wicket.
In the first round of the Elite Division, Baroda’s Krunal Pandya is not included in the team. The team seems a little inexperienced without him. On the other hand, because they possess crucial experience, Odisha will rely largely on Shantanu Mishra and Subhranshu Senapati.
