Perjury charge for cricketer Cairns

Former New Zealand cricketer Chris Cairns will appear in court next week to face one count of perjury linked to a libel action he brought in the UK in 2012. Cairns won A 90,000 in damages after he sued Lalit Modi, founder of the Indian Premier League cricket tournament, over an accusation of match-fixing made on Twitter in January 2010.
