“I want to say I am absolutely fine and grateful to this lovely life. I am thankful to all the support you have been showing. Honestly, though I would be there (in the auction list) but I have to work really hard. If I could wait for eight years, I will wait some more time,” Sreesanth said in the video.
“It was honestly disappointing not to make the cut but I am really alright. If I can wait 8 years to make a comeback into cricket, I can wait for some more time. No more sympathies are needed because guys I am absolutely happy,” he added.
