Why was Sreesanth banned?
The fast bowler was earlier banned for his alleged role in the spot-fixing scandal during the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League. In August 2013, Sreesanth was banned by the BCCI along with Rajasthan Royals teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan. While initially, the ban was for life, last year BCCI Ombudsman DK Jain reduced the quantum of punishment to seven years.

Sreesanth ban: Player talks about future plans
Sreesanth had recently said that he’s completely free of all charges, revealing that he will turn his attention to playing the sport he loves. The fast bowler claimed that he has another five to seven years to give to cricket and that he’ll give his all to whichever team he plays for. Before the end of his ban, Sreesanth had already started training with a few players from the Kerala Ranji Trophy team. The fast bowler may make a comeback to domestic cricket soon. However, Sreesanth’s comeback plans may get delayed if the BCCI is forced to cancel the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While a comeback into the Indian team looks unlikely for the 37-year-old, the fast bowler will be free to play in foreign leagues if he retires from international cricket. Speaking to the Times of India a few months back, Sreesanth had admitted that he had contemplated retirement after it was reported that the domestic season may not take place this year. Sharing his experience, the fast bowler said that he has been training hard since May and if he retired he would not be doing justice to the effort he has been putting in to get back into the game.

Along with the tweet, Sreesanth’s wife posted a picture in which the cricketer’s India cap is visible in the background. After the tweet, several fans praised Sreesanth’s wife for being positive about the situation. Many fans also wished best of luck to the fast bowler for his future endeavours as they hoped to see him out on the field once again.
