KCA Suspends Sreesanth Following Controversial Comments on Samson’s Selection

The Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) has stopped former Indian cricketer S. Sreesanth from participating in state cricket activities. This decision came after Sreesanth made “false and harmful” comments about the KCA when Sanju Samson was not selected for the Champions Trophy team earlier this year. The KCA is also taking legal steps against Sanju Samson’s father for making “baseless claims” about the cricket body.

Sanju’s father expressed his anger on a news channel, criticizing the KCA after his son was left out of the Champions Trophy squad. There was also a controversial situation earlier when Sanju missed playing for Kerala in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which may have affected his chances for the national team. The KCA confirmed that they suspended Sreesanth after a special meeting on April 30.

Sreesanth, who is currently involved with the Aries Kollam Sailors in the Kerala Cricket League, received a show-cause notice from the KCA for his comments criticizing their decisions. However, the other teams involved responded well to the notices, so no further action was taken against them. The KCA reminded team managers to be careful when adding new players.

The KCA is also looking for compensation from Sanju’s father for his negative comments about them. In previous interviews, Sreesanth encouraged everyone to support Sanju, saying the KCA hasn’t produced any international players since him.
