Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Cricket Association has decided to revoke the three-year ban imposed on former international cricketer S. Sreesanth.
Sreesanth was originally banned for three years over comments made through visual and social media platforms that the association said had damaged its reputation. He challenged the decision in the Thiruvananthapuram Munsiff Court, but the court dismissed his petition. Following this, Sreesanth submitted an official apology expressing unconditional regret for his remarks against the KCA.
At the KCA Special General Body meeting held on July 1, 2026, the members discussed his apology in detail. Considering that he had expressed unconditional remorse, the meeting unanimously decided to revoke the ban. However, the KCA warned Sreesanth that any similar conduct in the future would invite strict disciplinary action.
With the ban lifted, Sreesanth will be able to continue as the co-owner of the Aries Kollam Sailors franchise in Kerala Cricket League Season 3. The KCA had imposed the ban shortly before the previous KCL season began.
