WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Dec 1: New Zealand Cricket says it "accepts and respects" the decision of a London High Court jury to acquit former New Zealand captain Chris Cairns on charges of perjury and perverting the course of justice.

In a statement, NZC said it would take time to study the verdict which was delivered Monday at the end of an nine week trial.New Zealand Cricket said it would "remind media that this decision pertains to a criminal charge brought by British police as opposed to a match-fixing investigation conducted by a cricketing body. As such NZC is restricted in its ability to comment, particularly in regard to the verdict which it accepts and respects."

NZC chief executive David White was among those called to give evidence at the trial.
