Jadeja's plea dismissed

Ajay Jadeja's plea seeking permission to play international cricket was dismissed by the Delhi High Court on Tuesday after no one appeared on his behalf when the petition was taken up for hearing. According to Press Trust of India, a bench consisting of Justice Vijendra Jain and Justice Anil Kumar dismissed the appeal that Jadeja had filed to challenge another High Court ruling that didn't allow him to play any competitive cricket.

However, a Division Bench subsequently permitted him to play domestic cricket. Jadeja still nurses ambitions of representing India, though the Board of Control for Cricket in India appears loathe to even consider him.
