Indian cricketer S Sreesanth shared some of his favourite moments with Sachin Tendulkar on Twitter. Sreesanth was banned for life by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing during Indian Premier League 2013.
Newly appointed chairman of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) TC Mathew, who is also the president of the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA), said that he will speak to all concerned on Kerala's cricket hero S Sreesanth being banned for life for spot-fixing.
Former captain Rahul Dravid says the spirit of the game has become more "relevant and important" in the wake of the Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing scandal that plunged Indian cricket into a credibility crisis.
Reeling under the disappointment of S Sreesanth's life ban, there was something to cheer for Kerala cricket on Sunday as six officials of the state body made it to different committees of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at its Annual General Meeting in Chennai.
Banned fast bowler S Sreesanth claimed innocence in a letter to the BCCI's disciplinary Committee and said his confession to Police in the spot-fixing saga was under duress.
S Sreesanth had submitted a written appeal to the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Disciplinary Committee where he maintained his innocence over the IPL 2013 spot-fixing controversy. He said he considered cricket as his mother and questioned the board how can he as a son bring the game to disrepute? The fast bowler also requested the board to consider his case and give him an opportunity to be part of national and international cricket.
