But the 37-year-old is still not ready to give up his chances. Although he understands that there are no realistic scopes to make a comeback but the ever-fighting S Sreesanth want to fight till the last breath.
“Realistically no, but as my father told me which I will always follow ‘never give up as long as you’re breathing’. I never believed in being realistic, from a small state called Kerala (not much history of great cricketers who represented India),” Sreesanth was quoted as saying in an interview with Cricket World.

However, the 53 ODIs and 10 T20Is veteran believes in miracles. S Sreesanth continues to believe that he will win the World Cup for India and is waiting for that miracle to happen in his life. Notably, he also was a part of India’s victorious campaign in the 50-over 2011 World Cup in India. The seamer played a couple of games, though he couldn’t pick up a wicket.
“I always believed I will play for India and win a World Cup and it happens as the bible says ‘This too shall pass’. Miracles happen every moment, believe,” he concluded.
