S Sreesanth
S Sreesanth is making his comeback to T20 cricket after 7 years. The BCCI had banned him in 2013 after match-fixing charges during the IPL.
The BCCI had put a life ban on Sreesanth along with Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan. Chandila and Chavan were the teammates of Sreesanth in Rajasthan Royals. However, Sreesanth got a clean chit from the court last year, and his life ban was reversed to 7 years. The ban on the 37-year-old has ended this year.
The India pacer had played his last game in the IPL 2013 against Kings XI Punjab.
