According to Sportstar, BCCI is unlikely to take any kind of action against the cricketer. The young cricketer had passed the age verification protocol based on bone taste previously during the time of his initiation into the age group inter-state system. Also, a BCCI insider confirmed Sportstar that Rajvardhan first played for Maharashtra in U-16 during 2016-17. The TW3 test during that time confirmed that his age was at par with the documents.
