The Supreme Court on Friday set aside Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) disciplinary committee's order of 2013 imposing life ban on cricketer S Sreesanth.

“BCCI's disciplinary committee may reconsider quantum of punishment to be given to S Sreesanth within 3 months,” SC said.

“Sreesanth will get opportunity to be heard by BCCI's disciplinary committee on quantum of punishment,” SC added. 

However, the apex court made it clear that its order shall have no effect on criminal proceedings pending against the cricketer.
