Cricket: BCCI bans 5 players for spot-fixing
India’s uncapped bowler TP Sudhindra has been handed a life ban for spot-fixing.
NEW DELHI:
Five Indian domestic players facing allegations of corruption have been banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). India’s uncapped bowler TP Sudhindra has been handed a life ban for spot-fixing, while Shalabh Srivastava has been banned for five years, and Mohnish Mishra, Abhinav Bali and Amit Yadav each for one year. “The disciplinary committee held Sudhindra guilty of actually receiving a consideration to spot-fix in a domestic cricket match, and hence imposed an exemplary penalty on him,” said BCCI Secretary Sanjay Jagdale. The BCCI, last month, suspended the players from all cricket after a sting operation by a local TV channel which highlighted alleged corruption in domestic matches.
