Former Indian cricketer S Sreesanth has been handed a three-year ban by the Kerala Cricket Association. This comes in the backdrop of the ex-Indian pacer allegedly making “defamatory remarks” against the state board. It is pertinent to note that Sreesanth had pledged his unwavering support to protect Samson after the keeper-batter was dropped from the side’s Vijay Hazare Trophy and Rani Trophy squad earlier this year.

As per The Hindu, the KCA had taken the decision to impose a three-year-ban on Sreesanth in the General Body meeting held in Kochi on April 30. In addition to the ban, the KCA has also decided to file a compensation claim against Samson’s father and two others for making baseless claims using Samson’s name. It is pertinent to point out that the KCA hasn’t action against Kerala Cricket League franchise Kollam Aeries, but has decided to ban its co-owner Sreesanth.
“Since the franchise teams gave satisfactory responses to the notices, no further action will be taken against them. However, the meeting decided to advise greater caution when appointing members to team management,” the statement said.
Sreesanth vs KCA
“They (KCA) take players from other states to play for us. For what? Disrespectful to our Malayali cricketers. We have just one player at international level, Sanju. Let’s all support him,” Sreesanth had told Onmanorama.
In response, the KCA claimed that Sreesanth was unaware of Kerala cricket. In a statement, the board said that Sreesanth had not been acquitted in the IPL spot fixing allegation, adding that such a player need not offer protection to any of the state’s players. Further, the KCA stated that it had showed good-will by including Sreesanth in their Ranji Trophy side following the completion of his ban period.
“This shows he is unaware of Kerala cricket. The court dismissed criminal proceedings in the case but it remains a fact that he has not been acquitted in the spot-fixing allegation. Such a Sreesanth need not offer protection to Kerala Cricket Association’s players,” a statement from the KCA read.
