Overview
- The Kerala Cricket Association unanimously revoked the three-year suspension at a Special General Body meeting on Wednesday after reviewing Sreesanth’s apology.
- Sreesanth submitted a formal unconditional apology to the KCA after the Thiruvananthapuram Munsiff Court dismissed his legal challenge to the ban.
- The suspension was first imposed in April 2025 for public comments the KCA said brought disrepute to the body during a row over Sanju Samson’s non-selection.
- With the ban lifted, Sreesanth can continue as co-owner, mentor and brand ambassador of the Aries Kollam Sailors in Kerala Cricket League Season 3, restoring his formal role with the franchise.
- The KCA warned that similar public statements will invite strict action and the episode, which the association previously linked to Sreesanth’s 2013 spot‑fixing history, highlights tensions over governance and player advocacy in state cricket.
