Relieved Sree hits the nets

Kochi, July 26

A day after being exonerated in the 2013 IPL spot fixing-case by a Delhi court, former India medium-pacer S Sreesanth took to net training at the Edapally school ground. 

Though the BCCI is sticking to its ban on him, Sreesanth is eager to prove his fitness to the Indian board in order to make a comeback to competitive cricket. As he reached the ground in the evening for practice Sreesanth was given a rousing welcome by his fans. His mentor Shivakumar faced the first few balls in the nets at the school ground, from where he started his cricketing career. 

Sreesanth, 32, who is not allowed to play in the Kerala Cricket Association ground, said he had a nostalgic feeling while playing in the school ground where he trained in his younger days with his father Santhakumaran Nair and Shivakumar. — PTI
