New Delhi: The news of pacer S Sreesanth’s return to Kerala Ranji Trophy team set up created some ripples on Thursday (June 18). Though no official list has been put out by the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA), it is understood that state team members and the governing body are more than happy to welcome back Sreesanth to the fold once his ban ends in September.
Sachin Baby, the veteran Kerala batsman, said everyone is happy to see Sreesanth making a comeback and he looked sharp in the net sessions.
“I am really happy because he is a brother to me. For the last seven years, I have been waiting for him to come back into the Kerala side. We even used to train together for the last couple of years and he was helping me a lot. We still work together, practise together, and travel together.
“We are bonding really well. Even during the last two years when he wasn’t playing and I was the captain, he used to tell me what should be done with the Kerala side and with the players, what our goal ought to be,” said Sachin in a chat show Homerun with AV, hosted by sports commentator Arun Venugopal on his YouTube channel Gethist Creative.
“He used to always tell that we should play the IraniTrophy. Whatever he would tell me, I would pass the message to my team-mates. So, when people think I am expressing something, it’s actually a case of I am sharing something that Sree tells me.
