Cricket bosses are to meet after chaos at one of the sport's biggest contests as a match between Yorkshire and Durham had to be cancelled at the last minute.
About 7,000 fans were gathered at the the Riverside in Durham on Monday ahead of the Twenty20 quarter-final.
But the match was called off as it came to light that Yorkshire had used a player who wasn't registered properly in an earlier match.
Azeem Rafiq, 17, shouldn't have played because he doesn't have a passport.
He has played for England in the under-15 and under-16 sides, but the rules for schoolboy cricket don't require players to be born in the country they play for.
