MUMBAI: In a serious attempt to get rid of the malaise of age fraud in interschool cricket, the Mumbai Cricket Association, for the first time, has made the bone test mandatory for the players of all the 16 school teams who take part in the Harris Shield, which will kick off on February 22.
When the Harris Shield was last held (in 2019), the MCA had introduced the bone test, to determine the right age of a player, at the inter-school level, making them compulsory for the top eight teams of the Giles Shield and the Harris Shield.
