Kerela has announced its 20-man team for the upcoming edition of the Ranji Trophy. The team will be led by 33-year old Sachin Baby and surprisingly not Sanju Samson. However, Kerala has announced Shanthakumaran Sreesanth's name in the squad list, who was also earlier seen playing for Kerala in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. 

Sreesanth, who was part of the World Cup-winning teams in the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup., was finally relieved from a life ban last year. After this, he gave his name for the IPL 2021 auction but he was only met with disappointment as no franchises placed a bid for him. 

The 39-year old pacer represented the Kerala team in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2020-21, where Sreesanth was last seen in action in the quarter-final. Finally, the bowler's fans would be delighted with this news as once again the World Cup-winning bowler would be seen in action. However, prior to participating in the Ranji Trophy, the bowler would get to know whether any team goes for him in the IPL 2022 mega auction or not. 

Sreesanth who didn't find a single interested party in the IPL 2021 auction, would be hopeful this time around as two new teams have joined the tournament and hence more players would get to play the grandest domestic T20 league in the world.
