IPL spot-fixing: BCCI to seal fate of Ajit Chandila, Hiken Shah today

Chandila was arrested by the police for trying to spot-fix IPL games in 2013 along with other Rajasthan Royals cricketers.

New Delhi: The Board of Cricket for Control in India (BCCI) is set to decide the fate of tainted cricketers Ajit Chandila and Hiken Shah, who have been alleged to have tried to fix IPL games in 2013.

The Indian board's three-member disciplinary panel headed by president Shashank Manohar is likely to meet today in this regard. As per BCCI sources, the panel has the powers to impose punishment, including life bans on the cricketers.

Chandila was arrested by the police for trying to spot-fix IPL games in 2013 along with his then Rajasthan Royals teammates S Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan who have been banned for life by the BCCI.

The BCCI is yet to decide on the quantum of punishment to be awarded to Chandila who has been suspended from the game since the scandal broke two years ago.

The BCCI will also decide on the punishment to be awarded to Mumbai Ranji Trophy cricketer Hiken Shah for his alleged breach of the Board's anti-corruption code ahead of this year's IPL.
