Kerala Cricket Association Revokes Sreesanth's Three-Year Ban After ApologyPreviousNext

The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has revoked the three-year ban on former India cricketer S Sreesanth following his unconditional apology for remarks deemed defamatory against the association. The ban, imposed before the previous Kerala Cricket League season, had been challenged in court but upheld. With the suspension lifted, Sreesanth can resume his role as co-owner of the Aries Kollam Sailors franchise. The KCA warned that any future misconduct would result in strict disciplinary action.
