A former Indian domestic cricketer, who amassed 10,120 runs and 38 centuries at an average of 67, has been handed a life ban by the BCCI, joining former captain Anil Azharuddin.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has imposed a life ban on a former domestic cricketer following a disciplinary hearing. The player, whose career statistics include 10,120 runs, 38 centuries and a batting average of 67, is now barred from all cricketing activities under BCCI jurisdiction.
The decision comes after an investigation that uncovered evidence of misconduct. While the specific allegations were not detailed in the public statement, the ban is consistent with the BCCI’s strict stance on integrity violations.
The life ban was announced alongside that of former captain Anil Azharuddin, who faced a similar sanction for separate infractions. Both cases underscore the governing body’s commitment to upholding ethical standards in Indian cricket.
The ruling is expected to affect the individual’s eligibility for coaching, commentary and administrative roles within the sport. It also serves as a warning to other players about the consequences of breaching BCCI regulations.
