I had full faith in judiciary: Azhar after ban lift : Cricketnext
In what should come as a relief for the former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday said the life ban on the cricketer is unsustainable by law. A division bench of the high court set aside the order of a lower court which had upheld the ban.
"I have nothing more to day. The court has taken its decision. I want to contribute to Indian cricket. I will wait and see. I kept patience all through. My lawyers fought. Am pleased. I won’t blame anyone. What happened was not right. I wont take legal action against anyone. I am happy today.
“I won’t take any action against the BCCI. What is done is done where the Madhavan Committee is concerned. This verdict was necessary. My conscience is clear. Do I know if there were vested interests? I don't know. What will I get out of talking about this? I have moved on. I have said what I needed to say. I have always been positive. As I said I am not here to blame anyone.”

The BCCI had banned Azharuddin on December 5, 2000 for his involvement in match-fixing. Since then, Azharuddin, 49, has had no involvement in cricket-related matters and became a politician in 2009. He is currently a member of parliament from Moradabad constituency in Uttar Pradesh.
