THE United Cricket Board (UCB) will go to court to defend its life ban against disgraced former captain Hansie Cronje, who has filed an interdict against the punishment. Cronje, who has admitted to taking money from bookmakers, first threatened legal action when the UCB general council took a resolution to ban him for life in October. The UCB passed the resolution to ban Cronje from all forms of cricket a few weeks later, although it said it may repeal the ban in the future if the ex-skipper could prove rehabilitation “over time”.
