The BCCI yesterday said it will adopt a wait-and-watch policy on pacer S Sreesanth, whose life ban was lifted by the Kerala High Court, even as the cricketer's state association welcomed the reprieve.

Asked about the BCCI's stand, acting president CK Khanna said: "The judgment has come today. The BCCI's legal team will study the judgment and give its observations.

Obviously, their feedback will be taken and placed at an appropriate forum (general body)." The Kerala Cricket Association said it's happy with the development. "We were right behind Sreesanth from day one. We were in Delhi during those days (arrest and subsequent court hearings) when he endured a lot. Now that High Court has given a verdict, hopefully, normalcy will return in his life," said KCA secretary Jayesh George.
