Representing Sreesanth, senior advocate Salman Khurshid submitted that when criminal charges of match-fixing against Sreesanth have been dismissed, then on what grounds can the BCCI ban him.

The Supreme Court on Monday sought a response from two office bearers of BCCI's Committee of Administrators (CoA).
