Sreesanth Ban to End in August 2020
BCCI Ombudsman DK Jain ordered that the ban imposed on S. Sreesanth for alleged sealing work at the spot will end in August of next year. Jain also observed that the former Indian was already well advanced after six years of service. BCCI banned Sreesanth, now 36, for life in August 2013.
S. Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan were banned for life by the BCCI Disciplinary Committee in September 2013. He was later acquitted of all charges by a Delhi court in 2015 based on insufficient evidence under the MCOCA Act. a special law passed by the Maharashtra state government to combat organized crime syndicates and terrorism.
But the BCCI's decision remained firm in that it was independent of any criminal proceedings and was based on independent disciplinary measures. As a result, S Sreesanth never managed to return to the field for India or a team linked to the Indian cricket board. He did not even manage to obtain a certificate of non-objection from the BCCI to play outside India.
But on March 15, 2019, the Supreme Court overturned the order of the BCCI Disciplinary Committee. In an order adopted on August 7, Jain said that the "ends of justice" would be fulfilled by providing for a seven-year suspension and letting him play next year.
" Mr. Sreesanth, who is now in his thirties, his best years as a cricketer, especially as a fast pitcher, may have already been completed". "In my opinion that Mr. Sreesanth's prohibition from participating in any type of commercial cricket or associating with any activity of the BCCI or its subsidiaries, for a period of seven years from 13.09.2013, that is, the prohibition period imposed by the disciplinary committee had begun, would go to the end of justice".
In April of this year, a panel of judges Ashok Bhushan and K.M. Joseph said that Jain would reconsider, within three months, the amount of Sreesanth's sentence for the reparations scandal. On February 28, the BCCI told the Supreme Court that Sreesanth's life ban was "fully enduring in law" because he had "attempted to influence" a match.
Sreesanth's lawyer refuted the arguments and told the court that no correction at the scene had taken place during the IPL match. The lawyer also stated that the allegations against his client were unfounded. Sreesanth also repeated that the allegations were false and that he was innocent. Before the ban, he had represented India in 27 tests, 53 IDS and 10 T20 internationals, claiming 169 wickets.
