Highlights 1 Sreesanth was arrested on charges of spot fixing during the 2013 IPL2 Kerala High Court has lifted the life ban imposed on Sreesanth by the BCCI3 BCCI hadn't altered its disciplinary action against Sreesanth even after he was clearedIn a relief to cricketer S Sreesanth, the Kerala High Court today 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 Board of Control for Cricket in India (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. The BCCI, however, had refused to alter its disciplinary decision even after the verdict.
