The Supreme Court-appointed high-level Committee, headed by former Chief Justice of India Rajendra Mal Lodha, proposed identical two-year suspensions on Indian Premier League franchises Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday in the spot-fixing scandal that rocked the sixth edition of the event in 2013.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly termed the development as bad news, but expressed hope that the cash-rich Twenty20 league will be back on track soon.

"It's not a very good news for the IPL, but I have always believed that few wrong things here and there doesn't make the tournament bad," Ganguly said. 

"I hope the IPL recovers because it's not just about the off-field issues but about cricket as well, which has attracted players from all around the world and made T20 cricket into such a great platform. 

"So, hopefully, we will recover and we will get IPL back on track," he added.
