DYNAMOS forward, Elton Chikona, could be de-registered and stripped of the Castle Lager Premiership Rookie of the Year accolade if he’s found guilty of double identity allegations.
Chikona and Herentals forward, Leon Daka were ejected from the Young Warriors squad which is participating in the three-team competition that started today in Malawi.
According to ZIFA insiders, this duo was sent home for failing age eligibility tests.
PSL spokesperson, Kudzai Bare, said they are aware of the current speculation and they cannot decide until there is something concrete.
These two have been registered as juniors by their clubs, a slot which is meant for five developmental players who are under the age of 19.
Bare said if there is a solid case, the PSL Disciplinary Committee will then decide their fate.
“We are aware of Daka and Chikona’s issue but at the moment our hands are tied because our decision should not be inspired by a mere speculation.
“We are not ignoring anything but if they are found guilty of age cheating, PSL will respond to the matter as soon as possible,” said Bare.
