BCCI suspends Mumbai cricketer Hiken Shah

Mumbai, July 13: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended Mumbai cricketer Hiken Shah with immediate effect on Monday after finding him guilty of breaching its Anti-Corruption Code. The BCCI said Shah made a “corrupt” approach to one of his colleagues from first class cricket, who plays in one of the Indian Premier League (IPL) teams. Shah is a left-hand batsman and leg-break bowler who made his debut for Mumbai in domestic cricket in 2006 but has since struggled to be a regular member of the team. He has played 37 first class matches, scoring 2160 runs at an average of 42.35 with six centuries. IANS
