Veteran Indian pace bowler S Sreesanth has been having a troubled life in the recent years. There was a time when he was an integral part of the Indian lineup. Things turned sour during the 2013 edition of the IPL when his name was involved in the spot fixing scandal. That subsequently led to his ban from all forms of the game. Recently, the Kerala High Court revoked his ban and that came as a sigh of relief for the speedster. However, the BCCI decided to challenge the decision of the High Court.

It remains to be seen how the case unfolds now. For now, Sreesanth is very optimistic of making a comeback to the team. As per the quotes in the Hindustan Times, the Kerala pacer noted that he is seeing Ashish Nehra as an inspiration. The 34-year old Sreesanth feels age cannot undermine his intentions of a comeback since someone like Nehra has succeeded at the age of 37 too.

“Nehra is my idol because at 37 he’s doing better than when he started off. He’s like fine wine, getting better with age. I think I can be the same. I am willing to put everything behind and focus on my cricket,” quoted Sreesanth.

Creating new memories

Speaking further on the same lines, Sreesanth noted that he wishes to make more memories on the field. He wants to stage a comeback to make his family proud yet again. He is very disappointed with the fact that the BCCI has decided to question the revoking of his ban.

“I wish to follow my dreams and make my family proud. I do not want to keep reliving this. I need to make new memories and this (cricket) will help me do that. I have seen too much in life. I want to be happy. Is that too much to ask?” he questioned.
