August 7 (CRICKETNMORE) - The Kerala High Court on Monday has lifted the ban imposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on cricketer S Sreesanth. The seamer was charged earlier for his involvement in the spot fixing scandal in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
He was banned in September 2013 for his alleged spot fixing in the IPL and he was charged alongside two of his Rajasthan Royals teammates, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan. However, he was acquitted in the spot-fixing case in July 2015.
Talking to newsmen, Sreesanth (34) said his first priority was to get into the Kerala team. He said he was physically fit and hit the ground soon.
“Many people supported me in thick and thin. They stood with me. I am really indebted to them and I will not let them down,” he said in Kochi.
