That much I guessed. The name of the player is what I was asking for. Please provide the name here, thanks.

In that sense, There is nothing wrong in match fixing given that most of Pakistani players come from a poor background and they really need to make money and bookies offer them money more than most of them could imagine in their lives.

I think based on some of the so-called Under 19 players in this tournament, Pakistan should have just picked Shahid Afridi
Even Zaid Alam doesn't look under 19 at all. I am 19 myself and I can bet most of Afghanistan and Pakistan players don't look U19.

Fielding above age players is just wrong. There is no justification for cheating. Doesn't matter whether they're coming from Pakistan, Afghanistan, or anywhere else.

TW3 test for U-16 players only
Most cases come to light in the under-16 category and for a very specific reason: it is virtually impossible to detect an overage player at the U-19 level!
At the U-16 level, it is a different story altogether. In 2012, the BCCI introduced the globally accepted Turner-Whitehouse Test 3 (TW3), thus becoming the first sports body in the country to implement an advanced, scientific method of age detection.
The following year, they found 230 overage players in the U-16 category. Many parents were furious that the Board was not paying heed to the 'age documents' they had submitted. Many turned litigants but lost their cases.
The TW3 method, supposedly the most sophisticated and accurate of age-testing mechanisms, relies on scanning bones in the forearm and wrist and depending on maturity, can differentiate between a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old. The bones mature in a set pattern by the age of 16, give or take three months. Thus those whose forearm-wrist bone structure is mature, are reckoned to be above 16 and hence ineligible to play the age-group tournaments.
But detecting a player’s age beyond 16 is a challenge. BCCI's affiliate KSCA, for instance, has deemed that any birth certificate dated after two years of birth would not be acceptable. Additionally they believe any good cricketer by the age of 17 or 18 should be playing with men and hence does not need protection.
But all associations do not see it that way and believe that a 22 or 23 year-old player passing off as a 19 year-old is blocking the path of a genuine 19 year-old.
BCCI’s multi-proof demand
The BCCI believes that it is on top of the situation most of the times for U-19 cricketers, particularly for those who come through the TW3 test at the U-16 stage. But if a player gets into U-19 cricket directly, the BCCI had no way of ascertaining his real age.
To get around this, BCCI insisted that the player had to mandatorily submit a birth certificate along with three age-proof documents, school-leaving certificate, SSC marksheet and passport.
But despite such stringent demands there are still many coaches, parents and administrators who are pushing players through the loophole.
“You need to change things at both the U-16 and U-19 levels,” Sehwag said in an interview recently. “You need to fix the age-related issues at that level because it is from there many of the problems are cropping up.”
Dravid went a step further. He said that a child trained to lie and cheat from a young age was the one who would turn to dope and fix matches later on in his career.
