Supreme Court Wants BCCI Ombudsman To Decide Sreesanth’s Penalty

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday allowed BCCI ombudsman Justice (retd) D.K. Jain to decide on the quantum of punishment for cricketer S. Sreesanth regarding his alleged involvement in the spot-fixing scandal that rocked the 2013 Indian Premier League. While Sreesanth’s life ban was quashed last month, the Supreme Court had asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to reconsider his punishment. A bench comprising Justices Ashok Bhushan and K.M. Joseph made the observation while hearing an application filed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. The apex court gave the ombudsman three months to decide on the quantum of punishment. IANS
