Pacer Yash Dayal, who was recently embroiled in a serious legal case, now faces the threat of arrest after being accused of sexually assaulting a minor. Following the registration of a case against him at the Sanganer Sadar Police Station in Jaipur, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) has banned him from participating in the upcoming UP T20 League.

The left-arm pacer was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad that won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 trophy. He delivered a strong performance throughout the season, taking 13 wickets in 15 matches. However, the ongoing allegations have cast doubt over his future in professional cricket. The UPCA’s decision to exclude Dayal from the league reflects the seriousness of the charges and the board’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the sport.
