IPL Spot Fixing: The spot fixing scandal of IPL 2013 is still counted among the black chapters of Indian cricket. This spot fixing ended the cricketing career of Sreesanth and 2 more players of Rajasthan Royals. Ankit Chavan, former spinner of Rajasthan Royals convicted in the same case, is now returning to the cricket world once again and this time he is returning as a coach. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has appointed Chavan as the head coach of its under-14 team.
New innings now as coach in cricket
The left -arm spinner Ankit Chavan was banned by the BCCI in 2013, but in 2021 the ban was reduced to seven years. After this, he returned to the club cricket and passed the Level-1 coaching examination for coaching. Now MCA has expressed confidence in him and has entrusted him the responsibility of coaching the under-14 team of Mumbai.
After the coach was appointed, Ankit Chavan interacted with ‘Indian Express’ and said, “This is the second innings of my life and I am eagerly waiting for it. I am thankful to MCA who expressed confidence in me again and gave me this opportunity. Coaching is close to my heart. It will be my purpose to strengthen the foundation of players in under-14 cricket.”
After all, what was the whole matter?
S. in IPL 2013 Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankit Chavan were accused of spot fixing. The BCCI’s disciplinary committee imposed a lifetime ban on all three. However, in 2015, no evidence was found against the three in the Delhi Trial Court. Due to this, everyone was acquitted due to lack of evidence, but the BCCI continued the ban on the players. In June 2021, the BCCI had reduced Chavan’s ban to seven years. Which gave him a chance to return to competitive cricket in 2023.
