S Sreesanth has been included among the 26 probable candidates in the Kerela squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy. The Indian pacer who is aiming to get back into the Indian team has another big chance of making a statement to the selectors via this tournament. Sreesanth was earlier banned from all forms of cricket by the BCCI after he was found to be involved in match-fixing in IPL 2013.
The two-time World Cup winner with MS Dhoni-led Team India is one of the most talked-about cricketers who have been named in Kerala’s 26-man squad for the prestigious Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament. Sreesanth has joined former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who has come out of retirement to be included in the Punjab squad for the domestic T20 tournament.
