Stating that he felt very sad on hearing the BCCI’s decision announced on Friday, Sreesanth said, “The BCCI action is the biggest setback of my life and I am disappointed. I will try to overcome the crisis and make a strong comeback.”
Sreesanth said he did not know why he was being “framed” in this situation.u00a0“I can tell that I have not done anything wrong,” Sreesanth told reporters here.
The fast bowler said he was at a loss to understand why the BCCI took such a decision on this issue. “The only consolation for me now is that I am at home, not in a jail,” he said.
Sreesanth said he had been playing international cricket for the last nine years, but he never got any support from anyone. “I did not get any support these years. I expected to get support this time, which did not come,” he said.
For a cricketer of enviable talent and one who has been part of some of India’s greatest achievements in recent years, Sreesanth is largely known as a troublemaker and a maverick. When his name is mentioned, most fans do not think about the several devastating spells he has bowled in South Africa, West Indies and England.
