India U-19 captain under scanner for playing unsanctioned league in Mauritius

Delhi's wicketkeeper-batsman Anuj Rawat, who recently captained India U-19 in four-day matches in Sri Lanka, is under the scanner for playing an unsanctioned T20 league in Mauritius last year along with a host of Pakistani cricketers.

The tournament was held in June last year and Anuj played in it alongside some lesser-known first-class players like Asad Pathan.

Normally for playing in leagues in UK or Bangladesh, a cricketer needs (No Objection Certificate) NOC from BCCI to apply for visa.

However, for travelling to Mauritius, Indian nationals don't need a visa if the intended stay is for not more than 60 days.

The visa policy states: "You don't need a visa to enter Mauritius. On arrival, your passport will be stamped allowing entry to the country for 60 days. You'll need to be able to provide evidence of onward or return travel."
