Sreesanth out of action for eight weeks

Indian pacer S Sreesanth has been sidelined for upto eight weeks due to a toe injury, ruling him out of contention for the Test series against Australia starting on December 26.

Sreesanth was not picked in the original squad for Australia Tests but a rib injury to Praveen Kumar opened up the possibility of his selection when the national selectors meet today to pick a replacement player.

His injury has forced him out of the Kerala team in the ongoing Ranji season.
