Former India pacer and 2011 World Cup winner Sreesanth is back in action after the lengthy Coronavirus forced break as he was seen bowling at full tilt in nets for a club in Kerala. The fast bowler himself shared videos of himself running in and bowling those amazing out swinging deliveries.
The batsman in the nets found it difficult to negotiate his bowling, which seems to be a good sign for the 37-year-old as he looks to make a domestic cricket return after his ban ends in September. Kerala Ranji team coach Tinu Yohanan has already said that Sreesanth will be considered for selection if he proves his fitness after his ban ends.

Here are the videos shared by Sreesanth of himself bowling nets and captioned them “Back in nets ..nd it’s the best feeling..wearing spikes and running in #blessed #Cricket #india #kerala #s36 cricket academy #family #NeverGiveUp”
"His (Sreesanth's) ban will be lifted in September. The good thing is that there is time for him to get ready.. He is working hard on his game and his fitness. Then we will have to assess his physical fitness and game skills. Sree (Sreesanth) is always in the scheme of things," the Kerala coach had told PTI.
However, Kerala captain Sachin Baby is not certain about the fast bowler’s return to state cricket and in an interview with CricketAddictor, said, “He has been maintaining the body as well. So, obviously, the match fitness is not with him but still, he is fit and bowling well in the nets. He is still in his kit, we are all waiting for his comeback, I’m sure after this lockdown, in Kerala it is a rainy season, and so after this, he will be back in the match fitness too, he is working really hard.”
