Worst decision ever, say Sreesanth after Kerala HC restore life ban

Cricket | Wednesday | 18th October, 2017

Sreesanth vented out his frustration after Kerala High Court restored the life ban imposed on him by BCCI. The pacer calling it the worst decision, asked about the 13 names that were mentioned in the Lodha report that was submitted to the Supreme Court and wants the real culprits to be punished.

The Kerala High Court had on August 7 lifted the life ban imposed on him by the BCCI in the wake of the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.

In his order, Justice A Muhamed Mustaque also set aside all proceedings against Sreesanth initiated by the BCCI.

The court had earlier sought the BCCI's stand on the plea by the cricketer challenging the life ban imposed upon him by the game's governing body following the 2013 Indian Premier League-6 spot-fixing scandal.

The BCCI had filed a counter-affidavit on the issue in the court in response to the plea by Sreesanth, who had challenged the life ban despite a court dropping all charges against the 34-year-old pacer.

All the 36 accused, including Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila were discharged in the IPL-6 spot-fixing case by Patiala House Court in July 2015. The BCCI, however, had refused to alter its disciplinary decision.
