India, March 19 -- The Bombay high court on Wednesday ordered a family court to decide on the divorce of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma in light of his participation in the upcoming IPL season, reported Bar and Bench.

Chahal and Verma, who have been living separately for over two and a half years, had asked the court to allow them to get a divorce without having to explore possibilities of maintaining their marriage in a six month cooling off period as required by section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act.

Justice Madhav Jamdar asked the family court to decide on their divorce petition by tomorrow, March 20, given the Indian cricketer's responsibilities in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL).
