The Sreesanth Comeback Story

However, Sreesanth has always been in the headlines during this ban period also. He has been cast in a Malayalam movie in this period. Sreesanth has been free from all the charges on 13th September 2020. It has been a long time, but the player has not lost his self-confidence which is quite amazing.
According to the sources, Sreesanth is in touch with some clubs in England and Australia to make his comeback in the International cricket. He has set a target of representing his country again in the 2023 ODI World Cup. However, he needs to prove himself once again in the big stage before thinking about it too much.
