International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Narayanaswami Srinivasan has been cleared of corruption charges regarding the Indian Premier League (IPL).
A report by an Indian Supreme Court panel cleared Srinivasan, the owner of IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, of betting and match-fixing.
During the investigation 69-year-old Srinivasan was forced to step down as the president of India’s cricket board (BBCI).
The report said: "This individual was not involved in match-fixing activities. This individual was not involved in scuttling investigations into match-fixing."
Srinivasan became the ICC chairman in February and took up the position in July while the investigation was already taking place.
Judge Mukul Mudgal headed the panel and was appointed by the court last year to look into match-fixing and betting scandals in the IPL.
