Saurashtra Players Discovered with Liquor in Kits at Airport Post CK Nayudu Trophy Match

In a surprising turn of events, five Under-23 Saurashtra cricket players were discovered to be in possession of liquor at the airport while returning from Chandigarh after participating in a Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy match.

Following their victory over Chandigarh, the Saurashtra team was on their way back home when a routine customs check at Indigo’s cargo division revealed that five players—Prasham Rajdev, Samarth Gajjar, Rakshit Mehta, Parshwaraj Rana, and Smitraj Jhalani—had concealed 27 bottles of liquor and two cases of beer within their kits. The customs authorities promptly notified the Saurashtra Cricket Association about the incident.

The Secretary of the Saurashtra Cricket Association expressed his displeasure over the players’ actions, stating that such behavior is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of the association or the sport. He emphasized the need for players to uphold the highest standards of discipline and conduct both on and off the field.

The association is expected to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine appropriate actions. While it is unclear at this stage what consequences the players may face, the incident is likely to be taken seriously, given the importance of maintaining the integrity and reputation of the team and the sport.

This incident serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with being a professional athlete and the need for players to adhere to legal and ethical standards at all times. The Saurashtra Cricket Association is committed to upholding the values of the game and ensuring that such incidents are addressed with the seriousness they deserve.
