The Supreme Court yesterday questioned banned cricketer S Sreesanth for not immediately bringing to the notice of BCCI that he was approached for alleged spot fixing during the IPL in 2013.

Sreesanth, who was discharged by a trial court in 2015 in a criminal case related to alleged spot fixing, told a bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and KM Joseph that the life ban imposed on him by the BCCI was harsh and there was no evidence to substantiate the claim that he had indulged in any illegality.
