Indian court says life ban on Azharuddin over allegations of match-fixing is unsustainable
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW DELHI — An Indian court has ruled that a life ban imposed on former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin by the Board of Control for Cricket in India for alleged match-fixing is unsustainable and should be lifted.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court said in an order on Thursday that there was no evidence against Azharuddin and that the BCCI had acted unilaterally.
A lower court earlier upheld the ban on Azharuddin, which was announced by the BCCI in December 2000.
The BCCI can either lift the ban or appeal against the latest ruling in the Supreme Court.
The 49-year-old Azharuddin, who scored 6,215 runs in 99 tests and 9,378 runs in 334 one-day internationals, is a Member of Parliament representing the ruling Congress party.
