That's because he's 35 years old
This is his ICC photo from the media pack. No comment........

That is absolutely pathetic. How is he under 19?
Aw man, it really does grate on me. It's pure cheating, nothing less.

It's criminal really, and we're so unlucky getting a draw with TWO of these teams in the same group. The difference between U19 cricket and senior cricket is massive, to the extent that one of our senior franchise teams would probably win this tournament.
ZIM U-30 wouldn't have been any more competitive though so its a moot complaint in addition to getting tiresome.
That comment stuck you right into Robot category where u rightfully belong.

If u take a look at Rakibul Hasan the BD captain you might see why questionable age doesn't seem to be an issue for our resident doctor.

For a dodgy third-world country, I'm surprised we've never tried it
They need to get the guys from Churchill in the U19 coaching setup

Don't worry, we're also masters at this. Hasn't been attempted in a while but Lake's age group had 4 or 5 over age guys. Not that there's degrees of cheating, but they were less than a year over age, not decades like some of these guys

5 wickets for faloa is certainly a plus

Phwoar, this is real pace. Huge test - I doubt our boys have ever faced bowling this quick before.
