Cricket: Jadeja ban overturned

A five-year ban on former test allrounder Ajay Jadeja over allegations of match-fixing has been overturned by an Indian court.

An elated Jadeja, who is shooting his maiden Bollywood movie in the southern state of Kerala, said he had been vindicated by the decision.

Former captain Mohammad Azharuddin and test player Ajay Sharma were banned for life, while Jadeja and Manoj Prabhakar received five-year suspensions.

All four denied any wrongdoing.
