London, Nov 30: Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns has been acquitted of perjury and perverting the course of justice after a jury at Southwark crown court returned a verdict of not guilty here on Monday.
Cairns was accused of lying under oath when he told a court in 2012 during a victory in a libel case over the former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi, that he had never cheated at cricket and would not contemplate doing so.
