10 to 15 Year Ban For Sreesanth And Co-Players Suggests BCCI Committee

The two-member disciplinary committee of the BCCI will meet in New Delhi on Friday to decide the fate of the Rajasthan Royals cricketers implicated in the IPL spot-fixing scandal.

The panel, comprising boa-rd vice-presidents Niranjan Shah and Arun Jaitley, have asked S Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan as well as prosecution witnesses Harmeet Singh and Siddharth Trivedi to be present at the ITC Maurya at 11 am.

Ajit Chandila, who is out on bail, will be interrogated at a later date.

Even though reports suggest that Sreesanth and Chavan are likely to be handed life bans for their role in the scandal, a senior BCCI functionary told dna that the panel may “buy time before announcing its decision”.

“It’s an open and shut case, but what if these players are proved innocent in a court of law? The BCCI will be a fix then. So there is no hurry. Let’s wait for the police to file its chargesheet,” the official said.

And in any case, the disciplinary panel will first deliberate on the report submitted by Ravi Sawani, who heads the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU). After examining the report, Shah and Jaitley will present their findings at the BCCI Annual General Meeting to be held on September 29.

Another top BCCI official confirmed that ‘president-in-exile’ N Srinivasan will not be present at the hearing. “He is very much part of the disciplinary committee, but he won’t be here on Friday,” the official said.
