"I WANT TO END MY CAREER WITH...," SREESANTH'S EMOTIONAL STATEMENT AFTER BAN REDUCTION!

“I have 87 Test wickets and my aim is I want to finish my career with 100 Test wickets,” India fast bowler Sreesanth said after BCCI Ombudsman DK Jain reduced his ban from lifetime to seven years meaning that he would be back next year. Sreesanth who was part of India’s 2011 World-cup winning team was banned in 2013 along with his Rajasthan Royals teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan in connection with an IPL spot-fixing saga.

“I am extremely delighted with what I have heard now. Thanks to each one of my well-wishers who prayed for me and the prayers have been answered. I am 36 now and next year I will be 37. I have 87 Test wickets and my aim is I want to finish my career with 100 Test wickets. I am confident that I can return to the Indian Test team and always wanted to play under Virat Kohli,” Sreesanth told the media.

In March earlier this year, the Supreme court had revoked Sreesanth’s life-ban asking the BCCI to reconsider its decision. The apex court also gave three months time for the BCCI to arrive at a decision.
