The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been one of the driving factors which has led to India establishing themselves as one of the biggest cricketing nations in the world.

In 2013, Ankeet Chavan was arrested by the Delhi police alongside Ajit Chandila and S Sreesanth on charges of spot-fixing during IPL's sixth edition.

Left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan has requested the BCCI to issue his ban revocation letter which would allow him to return to competitive cricket.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) will discuss celebrating the golden jubilee of Sunil Gavaskar's Test debut during the Apex Council meeting to be held on August 18.

S Sreesanth's lifetime ban from cricket was reduced to seven years last year, and the tenure ends on September 13.

Sreesanth was issued a notice by the Delhi High Court in relation to the 2013 IPL Spot-Fixing after the police plea challenged the order of the Trial Court which dropped charges against him, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila.

BCCI's working group, headed by IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla, will discuss ways to implement the RM Lodha Panel order on Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Meanwhile, Mumbai Cricket Association will not appeal against the ban on Ankeet Chavan.

S Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila are serving life bans imposed by the BCCI for their alleged involvement in 2013 IPL spot-fixing case. However, the court has dropped all charges against them.

Ankeet Chavan, who has been cleared of spot-fixing charges in the Indian Premier League, has made a formal request to Mumbai Cricket Association to allow him to resume his cricket career.

Is it possible that the BCCI will reconsider the ban on Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan after a court discharged the former Rajasthan Royals cricketers for spot fixing and organized crime? From what the current face of the BCCI, Board Secretary, Anurag Thakur has to say it seems like Sreesanth and Chavan may just have hope.
