The Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA) has postponed Anjuman Islam’s Harris Shield match by a day after 10 players from their squad were found overage. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has made medical tests mandatory for all inter-school cricket competitions.


Accordingly, the TW3 bone tests were conducted on players from all 16 teams participating in the U-16 Harris Shield which is scheduled to begin today. “Since 10 players from Anjuman have been found overage, their match will start a day later. A fresh set of 10 players will take the bone test again and only after they clear it, the team can enter the competition,” an MSSA official told mid-day on Monday.
