Azhar wants to forget the past, High Court rejects life ban by BCCI

Hyderabad, Nov 8: After the Andhra Pradesh High Court Thursday overturned the life ban imposed on him, former India cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin said he is "a relieved man" and does not want to dwell



Asked if he regrets not having completed 100 Test matches, stuck on 99, the wristy batsman said: "I think I was probably destined to play 99 Test matches hence played that many. I believe what has to happen, will happen."


The court verdict has come as a major relief to Azhar, who had always maintained that the ban on him was unfair and the BCCI's decision was unilateral.

Azhar, one of India's most successful captains, played 99 Tests and scored 6,215 runs during his career. He also played 334 One-Day Internationals scoring 9,378 runs in his 15-year international career.

The former Team India captain  said he will not take legal action against the BCCI.
