Let cricket be a game and not a ball for politicians : SC

"Let cricket be a game and not a ball for politicians," observed a bench of justices R M Lodha and A R Dave.

The remarks were made by the bench during the hearing of a petition relating to the ongoing dispute between two rival associations of cricket in Bihar for running the administration of the sport in the state.

Former cricketer and BJP MP Kirti Azad, who is associated with the Association of Bihar Cricket, has sought to be made intervenor in a matter.

The Association of Bihar Cricket is a rival of Bihar Cricket Association led by RJD chief Lalu Prasad as its President.
