BCCI issues statement against fraudulent advertisements promising entry into NCA

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday issued clarification regarding fraudulent advertisements promising entry into the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. The Indian cricket board said that it has recently come across fraudulent advertisements promising aspiring cricketers admission to the NCA which is a fraud.

“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.”
