KCA has suspended Sreesanth for three years following disciplinary issues, marking a major setback in the former Indian cricketer's career.

Sreesanth Suspended for Three Years by Kerala Cricket Association

In a major development, the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has handed a three-year suspension to former Indian fast bowler S. Sreesanth due to disciplinary issues. The decision was announced after a detailed review of his recent conduct during domestic cricket engagements.

Background of the Suspension

Sreesanth, who had made a return to competitive cricket after a long hiatus, was found guilty of violating the code of conduct during matches and training sessions. According to KCA officials, the cricketer's behavior was "unacceptable and disrespectful" to the spirit of the game and team management.

KCA's Official Statement

The disciplinary committee of KCA, after thorough evaluation, recommended a three-year suspension, which was subsequently approved by the executive body. “We had high expectations from Sreesanth given his experience, but repeated misconduct compelled us to take this action,” a KCA spokesperson said.

Sreesanth’s Reaction

The 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 World Cup winner has not yet made an official statement. Sources close to the cricketer claim that he may appeal the decision in the coming days.

Impact on His Career

This suspension casts uncertainty on Sreesanth’s cricketing future. At 41, a three-year ban could likely signal the end of his playing days unless overturned or reduced.
