Ankeet Chavan has asked the Indian cricket board and the Mumbai Cricket Association to rethink the life ban placed on him because of his role in the spot-fixing scandal of the 2013 IPL. That year, the BCCI disciplinary committee had found three Rajasthan Royals players – Sreesanth, Chavan, and Ajit Chandila – guilty of spot-fixing in the IPL and had handed them life bans. However in 2015, a Delhi trial court dropped all charges against the these players for lack of evidence.
