Uproar over Golf Junior team player's eligibility

Maya Iyre and others have been sent to compete in the All Africa Junior Golf Trophy championship which is set for March 22-27. The complaints are against the inclusion of 12 year old Iyre, who is an Indian passport holder residing in Botswana. According to one parent who spoke to Sport Monitor on condition of anonymity, in the All Africa Junior Golf Trophy, players are required to represent the country of their nationality.

Equally, the source highlighted that a country cannot freely field a non-citizen unless specific eligibility conditions are met, and in most cases, they are not allowed.
