In a landmark decision, BCCI President Shashank Manohar rejected Ravindra Jadeja’s appeal against a one-year ban for violating IPL’s terms and conditions

Ravindra Jadeja was banned from IPL 2010 as he tried to negotiate outside his contract with the Rajasthan Royals. Jadeja, though claimed in his appeal that he had received BCCI’s approval before looking for contracts with other teams.

“He (Manohar) did not want to set a wrong precedent, so he dismissed the request. So Jadeja now cannot play in the IPL (this year),” an IPL official said.
