IPL spot-fixing: BCCI imposes life ban on S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan
New Delhi: Tainted Rajasthan Royals cricketers S Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan were handed life bans by BCCI on Friday for their role in the IPL spot-fixing scandal.

Other Rajasthan cricketers Amit Singh and Siddharth Trivedi were handed a ban for five years and one year respectively. While young left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh was let off with a warning, another spinner Ajit Chandila’s case will be taken up later.

The two-member disciplinary committee of the BCCI met in the national capital earlier in the day to decide the fate of the Rajasthan Royals cricketers implicated in the IPL spot-fixing scandal to deliberate on Anti-Corruption Unit chief Ravi Sawani`s report on the scam that shamed the Twenty20 league.

The players, who also served jail time after being arrested by the Delhi Police, are Test pacer S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan. The trio played for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL but their contracts were terminated by the franchise after the scandal broke out.
