Breaking News: BCCI Ombudsman reduces Ajit Chandela’s life ban to seven years in Spot Fixing case

Let’s go back ten years to 2013, when a scandal involving match-fixing by Rajasthan Royals players sent cricket into the national spotlight.

Players like S Sreensanth, Ajit Chandela, and Ankeet Chavan were among those who first received lifetime bans.

Speaking of the most recent developments, the BCCI Ombudsman, led by Vineet Saran, has lowered Chandela’s life ban to seven years.

S Sreesanth’s ban was recently overturned by the Kerala High Court due to a lack of strong circumstantial evidence.

He is once more prepared to compete at the greatest level in cricket.

With Chandela’s suspension removed, he will now concentrate on making a comeback in cricket.
