Kerala Cricket Association decided to write to the BCCI seeking lifting of the life ban imposed on pacer S Sreesanth who has been discharged by a Delhi court in the IPL-6 spot-fixing case.

KCA President T C Mathew, who is also a BCCI vice-president, will write to the Board regarding this after a Delhi court dropped charges against former India pacer Sreesanth and two others in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal.

Mathew, who is currently in Bangalore, said the KCA will wait for response from the BCCI after sending the letter requesting lifting of ban imposed on Sreesanth.

A delegation of KCA office bearers may also meet the BCCI top brass, KCA officials said. Soon after the court verdict yesterday, the BCCI had said they have decided to stick to its ban on the three cricketers – Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan — for the time being.
