Here are the facts. As per the CBI report published in November 2000, Azhar admitted to match-fixing (for three matches in 1996, which he later publicly denied), and was subsequently banned for life by the BCCI in December 2000. Later, the former captain challenged this ban legally, and in 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court declared the life ban illegal

After former captain Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were suspended for ball-tampering at the South Africa tour earlier this year, selectors had only a handful of players left to choose from.

England opener Alastair Cook, who will retire from international cricket after the fifth and final Test against India at The Oval this week, said it was time to embrace T20s and not be "scared" of the format. The former captain also reflected on his illustrious career.
