Although the pacer has made his way to the national team, competing at this level after so long will not be easy. Ageing 37, it will be interesting to see if Sreesanth can maintain his fitness and bowl with hostility or not.
Meanwhile, dashing wicket-keeper Sanju Samson has been named team captain while Sachin Baby is the vice-captain. Robin Uthappa also finds a place in the squad which strengthens Kerala’s line-up even more. The side certainly looks well-balanced on the paper and will start the tournament as one of the favourites.
