The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday issued a statement on fraudulent advertisements promising entry into the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
The Indian board has cautioned public to not fall prey to such fraud advertisements and instead approach the state associations.
“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,” BCCI said in a statement.
“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.”
The NCA is currently located at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman is currently the Head of Cricket at the National Cricket Academy.
