Former Indian pace bowler Sreesanth has taken to twitter to explain his current situation as his career took a toll after alleged with match fixing in the cash-rich IPL four years ago.
Ever since he was alleged he was out of cricketing action as he was banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for a lifetime. However, Sreesanth and the others who were acquitted were given clean chit by the Delhi High Court in 2015 but the board has remained on its stance and have not removed the ban on the players.
The Kerela pacer is eyeing a return to the game this year but has not yet got clearance from the board as he is looking to play competitive cricket in Scotland domestic circuit.
“I have got a good offer from a Scottish First Division club side. (It) depends on (if) BCCI gives me permission or not,” he had quoted in late December.
“As far as I remember, the ban for me was for not to play in BCCI tournaments and not to represent BCCI. Maybe, I will get an opportunity to play there. I not happy with the way BCCI has treated me. I am waiting to get (BCCI’s) permission to play club cricket,” he had added back then.
However, the board has remained on the same stance as they refused to give the NOC for the pacer to play in Scotland and Sreesanth has taken twitter to express his discontent over his situation. He went to reveal that his state board have not received any letter regarding his life ban.
In his tweet, he wrote, “My KCA or my Ernakulam District association or my club team haven’t received any letter of my life ban or not allowing me to play..”
He has also posted a series of tweets to explain his present situation to the fans.
