New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday insisted that the ban on the three Rajasthan Royals players S. Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila would not be lifted.

A Delhi trial court on July 25 dropped all charges against the trio and 33 others in connection with the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot fixing and betting scandal that rocked the cash-rich Twenty20 tournament in 2013. The BCCI on the same day, however, said the ban will still stay.
