Aleem Dar’s sons adopt fake identities to play in British cricket club

Aleem Dar, the Pakistani umpire who recently in his 100th Test officiated, is not aware of a number denied one of Britain's oldest cricket clubs involved after his sons apparently lied to be about Scottish to play in league matches.

Kilmarnock Cricket Club was thrown into this week of the first division of the Western District Cricket Union in Scotland after turned out that Ali and Hassan Dar had bypassed eligibility rules, aged 18 and 16 falsely claiming to have been born in Glasgow ,

- The pair registered under the pseudonyms Umer Mustafa and Mustafa Saleh for Kilmarnock in a number of lamps in the 2015 season, was observed to compete from those of Dar itself - against Stenhousemuir in August.

"I confirm that I along with my wife, went to see the game, but it was a friendly match, I thought," Dar ESPNcricinfo said. "I was there to see my sons and nephews Azeem, but I did not know that my sons have played with different names."

The journey of the referee to see the competition in question came after England's three-day victory over Australia in the third Test at Edgbaston, which had left him with a free weekend. According to a report in The National, he had at Stenhousemuir tryst ground came a "cousin and nephew" in action.

Dar nephew, Mohammed Azeem Dar, made his Scotland U19 debut in January and was Kilmarnock regular first-team captain during the 2015 season. However, he is not accepted on the day, played by his uncle visiting.

"My sons are too young to manipulate the personal data", Dar. "Both have Pakistani passports and they are proud to be Pakistanis. We have no doubt that at every level. This whole story seems to be a kind of misunderstanding to be"

Nevertheless Kilmarnock were relegated to the second tier of the Western District Cricket Union after turned out that "Umer" and "Saleh" had actually born in Pakistan.

A Western Union officially declared: "We have information on possible violations of league rules and our investigation has shown that this is the case.

"It was found that two players were registered with false information and one or both of a series of games during the 2015 season.

"The CMC [Cricket Management Committee] decided to follow precedent, won by all the points by Kilmarnock deduction in the games in which participated the two illegally registered player.

"Kilmarnock therefore been deducted 49 points and are now banned."

In a statement released on the club's website, Kilmarnock accepted the punishment, but insisted it was by the been out "fraudulent actions of an individual member of the committee" astray.

"The club in the strongest terms denies that we made knowingly false and misleading information in the registry of the players available," the statement said.

"While this has been an extremely stressful and ultimately disappointing period in the club's history, we have fought since 1852 again by fire, flood and countless other setbacks.

"The strength of a club is its members and while it is annoying that the fate of the association and its members is less influenced by the misguided efforts, we defer a club again, if all of them together."

Kilmarnock, who won the league seven times 1949-1970, were replaced in the top tier of St. Michael, which had previously been banned at the end of the season, 2015.

Dar, currently in Lahore, the blame for the controversy with the club officials said place.

"They should be asked about it," he said. "If the club was relegated then that happened for a good reason. A son is 16 and the other is barely 18 They did play the league match, but they had many friendly matches as well played."
