Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, ശ്രീശാന്ത്, Santakumaran Srisant, is an Indian cricketer who has recently suspended by BCCI from playing IPL on May 16, 2013, pending inquiry into his alleged involvement in spot fixing, a charge that he confessed at first, but later denied.
He born on 6 February 1983 in Kothamangalam, Kerala, India. He is a right-arm fast-medium-pace bowler and a right-handed tail-ender batsman. In first class cricket, he plays for Kerala and in the Indian Premier League, he plays for Rajasthan Royals. He is also the first Kerala Ranji player to play Twenty20 cricket for India.
On 16 May 2013, the Delhi police arrested Sreesanth and two of his Rajasthan Royals teammates, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan from Mumbai, on charges of spot-fixing during IPL 6. Jiju Janardhan, another key figure accused of spot-fixing, is reported to be Sreesanth's cousin and an under-22 Gujarat player. On 17 May 2013, Sreesanth confessed to spot-fixing.
Police reported that Sreesanth was drunk at the time of his arrest and thought he was been arrested for being drunk. When the Delhi police team intercepted him, he was reportedly accompanied with a woman in a SUV outside a five-star hotel in Carter Road Promenade, Mumbai.
Sreesanth, and the two other players accused of spot fixing, have had their Rajasthan Royals contracts suspended while their inquiries are pending.
