Tainted Indian cricketer S Sreesanth filed a petition in the Kerala High Court on Wednesday, seeking its direction to the BCCI to allow him to play for a Scottish club in April.
In his petition, Sreesanth, challenging the life ban imposed on him by the disciplinary committee of the BCCI, said even the trial court which heard the match-fixing case has observed that "no prima facie case in any offence, including Section 3 of MCOCA, is made out against the accused persons and they are entitled to be discharged."
All the 36 accused, including Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, were discharged in the IPL-6 spot-fixing case by a Delhi court in July 2015.
The BCCI, however, refused to alter its disciplinary decision even after the verdict.
Do you think since the Delhi court has exonerated Sreesanth of all the charges, should he be allowed to play cricket again?
