Just like releasing after 12 years serving life imprisonment




The Andhra Pradesh high court on Thursday struck down the life ban imposed on former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) 12 years ago. It was on Dec 5, 2000, that the BCCI banned Azhar from playing cricket for life after being found guilty of match-fixing. Azhar, one of India's successful captains, played 99 Tests scoring over 6,215 runs during his career. He also played 334 One-Day Internationals scoring 9,378 runs in his 15-year international career.

The BCCI lifted the ban on Azharuddin in 2006 and even honoured him along with other Indian Test captains in a ceremony in Mumbai during the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy. The ICC, however, claimed that it alone had the right to revoke the ban despite playing no role in handing out the original ban.

This happens rarely in a football match where the participating team goes to the ground wearing suits.
Id the situation, teams and why they wore this ?

Liverpool was drawn to wear the away kit in the F.A. Cup Final 1996.  Some people with superstitious mind said that it's an unlucky draw of kit as Liverpool was also defeated to Manchester United in F.A. Cup Final 1977 with the away kit worn then. That is why the white Armani suits were worn prior to the match.
