Sreesanth shocked with MCOCA charges: Kerala cricket officials

Sreejith Nair, one of the two KCA official who met Sreesanth at Delhi’s Tihar jail, said Sreesanth was baffled after his bail application was cancelled.


Sreesanth, who played for Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals, is in jail for his alleged role in spot fixing in the recently concluded sixth edition of the tournament.

“He asked why is it that he is singled out when others have been given bail, when he is innocent,” added Nair.
