• Ankeet Chavan also punished alongside seamer
• Case follows allegations of illegal betting on games
India fast bowler Shantha Sreesanth has been banned for life following his part in the Indian Premier League spot-fixing controversy.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the sanction against 30-year-old Sreesanth, and his Rajasthan Royals team-mate Ankeet Chavan, after its disciplinary committee held a hearing with the players in New Delhi on Friday.
Punishments were also meted out for bookie Amit Singh, who is banned from associating with the BCCI for five years, while Siddarth Trivedi was given a year's suspenion for his failure to report an approach.
The case against Harmeet Singh, who had also been charged with failing to report an approach, was dismissed due to an absence of evidence.
