Despite performing well in the district level and Challenger Trophy tournaments, a player was not selected for the Under-16 cricket camp. The player has alleged rigging in the selection, saying he was ranked 20th in the leader board. Despite this, players ranked lower than that were selected for the camp.
A complaint has been sent to the Chief Minister accusing the selectors of making brother-nephew promises. Also, there is a demand to select the top players on the basis of leader board numbers. Mohit Kumar Bairwa resident Basna Papadda took 8 wickets and scored 31 runs in 4 matches in Under-16 cricket at the district level.
On the basis of all-rounder performance, Mohit Bairwa was selected in the Challenger Trophy organized by Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA), in which he played 5 matches and took 6 wickets. Based on this, Mohit Bairwa remained at 20th position in the leader board of RCA. Despite this, Mohit Bairwa was not selected for the camp of probable players for Rajasthan team selection. It is also alleged that players ranked below Mohit Bairwa were selected, in which Virat Chaudhary was ranked 31st in Nagaur leader board, Pawan Kumawat was ranked 73rd in Bikaner leader board, Ansh Kumar was ranked 43rd in Jhunjhunu leader board, Gurman Singh was ranked 43rd in Bikaner leader board. 26th, Ayan Nagaur 35th in leader board, Dhruv Natha 30th in Bhilwara leader board and Anurag Dholpur was ranked 79th in the leader board.
Mohit Bairwa's father Manohar Lal Bairwa says that if players are discriminated against at the small level, then how will good players come forward at the national and international level. Mohit Bairwa, the player who got higher rank in the leader board, says that this matter should be investigated and action should be taken against the selectors who select lower ranked players in the camp. With this, in future, not only contender players but actually deserving players can be selected in the team and camp.
