Yash Dayal, the emerging bowler signed for Rs 7 lakh by the Gorakhpur Lions team, will not be able to play the UP T20 League slated to begin on August 17, as he has not yet received BCCI clearance. The 19-year-old bowler was expected to attract a lot of attention in the tournament, seeing as he's representing Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy.

His absence will be a blow to the Lions as he went unnoticed in the previous two iterations of the tournament. The UP T20 League has gained notoriety for being a breeding ground for new talent, providing domestic players an avenue to impress. However, Dayal's absence has dealt a blow to those aspirations as he was one of the young prospects to watch out for.

The BCCI's silence on giving clearance has led to the suspension of Dayal's participation. It is unclear whether the delay is due to the BCCI's hierarchy regarding his clearance or if there are other factors at play.

Regardless, the absence of Yash Dayal will leave a void in the UP T20 League, as he was poised to be one of the most exciting prospects in the tournament and further the League's reputation for discovering raw talent.

Perhaps the Gorakhpur Lions can use this opportunity to nurture other promising young players on their roster and continue the League's tradition of unearthing new talent.
