KOCHI: Fast bowler S Sreesanth, who is set to make a comeback in competitive cricket, began preparations for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with the same aggression he was known for during his playing days.
Sreesanth was banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in August 2013, along with his then Rajasthan Royals teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan, for indulging in alleged spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
