Sreesanth hits back after KCA sends show cause notice over his comments on Sanju Samson: 'We need players who dream..'

Firstpost  

Sreesanth responded fiercely to the Kerala Cricket Association’s show cause notice, questioning their recruitment policies and their treatment of local cricketers. Sreesanth had publicly questioned KCA’s decision to exclude Sanju Samson from the domestic white-ball season for Kerala, which, according to reports, led to the wicket-keeper’s omission from India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad. The KCA clarified that the notice was not issued because of Sreesanth’s support for Sanju Samson, but because of the nature of his comments, which the association deemed to be “false and defamatory.” KCA also stated that the remarks violated Sreesanth’s contractual obligations as the co-owner of the Kollam Sailors franchise in the Kerala Cricket League, which is run by the state board. In response to Sreesanth’s remarks, KCA referenced his involvement in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, suggesting that the association had consistently supported players, even in challenging circumstances.
