Statement — A five-year BCCI ban on Mr X was quashed by an arbitrator appointed by a city court.\nConclusions:\nI. Mr X is now free to play international cricket.\nII. Mr X will be inducted into the 15-member Indian team.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Quashing a ban removes a barrier, but selection for international cricket is a multi-step process involving selectors, fitness, form, and competition. We must not jump from legal relief to sporting outcomes.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Ban removed by arbitration.
  • No statement about selection, current form, or team needs.


Concept / Approach:
Conclusion I claims Mr X is “free to play international cricket,” which overstates the situation; at most, he becomes eligible for consideration. Conclusion II (guaranteed induction) is even stronger and plainly unsupported.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Legal barrier removed ≠ automatic participation.2) Team composition depends on selectors; no link provided.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option granting I or II confuses eligibility with certainty.


Common Pitfalls:
Assuming legal permission instantly translates to selection and play.


Final Answer:
Neither I nor II follows.
