Fast bowler S Sreesanth said that while he is open to playing for India again if given the opportunity, he is not back in the Kerala Ranji setup to compete. "I'm not here to compete, I'm just here to help and share my experiences and in that process if the selectors give me a chance then why not, I would like to play the 2021 Test Championships final if India plays in it," he told the New Indian Express.

IANS had earlier reported that the Kerala Cricket Association had said that it would consider the 37-year-old after his ban ends in September for the Kerala Ranji team. Sreesanth said that there is no longer a fear of failure for him.
