more-inS. Sreesanth has approached the Kerala High Court seeking a directive to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to lift the life ban imposed on him after the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal. While filing a petition in the High Court here on Wednesday, Sreesanth pointed out that a sessions court in Delhi had discharged all the accused, including him, in the case on July 25, 2015. Though he had made a specific request to the BCCI for the NOC on February 11, there had been no response. Sreesanth mentioned that he needed the NOC before March 2 to join the Scottish club and start preparing for the league. Hence, he has pleaded with the High Court to direct the BCCI to issue the NOC for playing in Scotland.
