Former India batsman Ajay Jadeja played his first competitive game in three years after a court hearing his appeal against a match-fixing ban permitted him to play domestic cricket.
Jadeja's appearance in a local tournament on Saturday beside some other former India players drew hundreds of fans to the ground anddomestic media.
Jadeja was banned for five years from all cricket by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in December 2000, with three other players, after a police investigation into corruption in the game.
But Jadeja, 32, contested the punishment in the Delhi High Court, which last week gave him permission to play domestic games until the case was decided.
