India's Team A lost to Pakistan's A in the Emerging Asia Cup final yesterday. But, it has come to light that Pakistan has played a big cheating game.

Pakistan are being accused of fielding a player who is even older than Babar Azam in the emerging team. Not only this, there are six players who have played international matches and are above 23 years of age.

Questions are now being raised about the age of these six players in the Pakistan team. The Emerging Asia Cup played in Sri Lanka is also known as the Junior Asia Cup. Players under 23 years of age are given a chance in this tournament.

The BCCI had also selected an under-23 team. But, Pakistan has committed a major fraud. The teams of Pakistan and Bangladesh have fielded players up to the age of 30 in this tournament.

Taib Tahir, who scored 108 off 71 balls in the final against India, is an older player. Taib will turn 26 on July 26. He has also played three T20Is for Pakistan's senior team.

Even though Pakistan's Mohammad Wasim Jr is only 21 years old, he has played 2 Tests, 14 ODIs and 27 T20 Internationals.

Fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahan has played 2 ODIs and 11 T20 Internationals. He is 24 years old. Omir bin Yusuf is also 24 years old. He has no experience of playing international matches.

Kamran Ghulam, who was included in the national team for ODIs, entered the emerging tournament at the age of 27.

Fast bowler Amad Butt is also of international age. Although he has not got the chance, he is 28 years old. Arshad Iqbal is a 22-year-old fast bowler who has played one T20 international match for the Pakistan national team.

Sahibzada Farhan who has played three international matches for Pakistan, also played in yesterday's match. His age is 27 years.

Saim Ayub, who scored a half-century in the final against India, has also played 8 T20 Internationals for Pakistan. He is 21 years old.
