Court upholds Kale's suspension

Pune Dec. 12. The Additional Sessions Judge B.N. Deshpande here on Friday upheld the suspension of cricketer Abhijit Kale by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

In view of this order, Kale will not be able to play any match as the BCCI appeal against the lower court order, which had stayed the suspension order has been set aside.

Kale had challenged the BCCI decision to suspend him from playing cricket in the wake of bribery allegations levelled by two selectors Kiran More and Pranob Roy recently.

He had challenged the suspension on the grounds that the order of suspension issued by BCCI was `illegal', 'arbitrary' and `bad in law' as he was not given a hearing before suspension.

The cricketer also pleaded that he be allowed to play Ranji Trophy matches because he was officially selected by the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) on merit.
