Age-fudging: BAI extends VARS deadline, asks players to rectify age by July 10

Following a huge response from players, the Badminton Association of India on Friday decided to extend the deadline for its one-time Voluntary Age Rectification Scheme to July 10 in wake of rampant age-fudging cases in the sport. The BAI's 'Voluntary Age Rectification Scheme' is meant for registered players who have existing BAI identification cards, but have incorrect date of birth or have discrepancies in the date of birth or age.
