However, Sreesanth’s cricket journey has been nothing short of a crazy experience. Following his professional debut in October 2005, the Kerala-born superstar bowled many of the most dazzling stints at the highest level, as well as helping India win the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 World Cup. Unfortunately, his suspected participation in spot-fixing during the 2013 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) resulted in a suspension, which was later removed in 2019 by the Supreme Court overturned the pacer’s life sentence.
“For the next generation of cricketers. I have chosen to end my first-class cricket career. This decision is mine alone, and although I know this will not bring me happiness, it is the right and honorable action to take at this time in my life. I ‘ve’ cherished every moment,” Sreesanth wrote.
“It has been an honor to represent my family, my teammate,s and the people of India. Nd everyone who loves the game. With much sadness but without regret, I say this with a heavy heart: I am retiring from the Indian domestic (first class and all formats ) cricket” he added.
He then played a few games before finally giving up on his profession. The 39-year-old bowler reportedly said that he desired a farewell match in the present Ranji Trophy from the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA), but the selection panel declined his application.
Sreesanth reportedly submitted his entry for the 2022 IPL mega auction, with a starting bid of INR 50 lakh. Unfortunately, no team has shown an interest in acquiring the seasoned bowler.
