IPL spot fixing: Sreesanth banned for life

Indian fast bowler S Sreesanth has been banned from cricket for life after being found guilty of spot-fixing.

With the credibility of the billion-dollar IPL at stake, the BCCI was always going to deliver strong penalties.

Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan, a Rajasthan Royals team-mate who was also arrested when the scandal broke in May, have been banned from having any association with cricket.
