#5 He doesn’t fit into the Indian team’s dynamics

Virat Kohli is a captain with high ethical and moral standards. Moreover, it is difficult to imagine Sreesanth being a part of the Indian squad for the 2019 World Cup when he is 37.

India’s current crop of pace bowlers have been honing their skills with the World Cup in sight and waiting for their chance to represent the country. Shami, Bhuvneshwar and Umesh Yadav form the core group of bowlers who’ll be on that flight, unless all of them are injured which seems unlikely.

Even if that’s the case, someone who last played an ODI back in 2011 would be the last player to breach the ranks.

Inducting Sreesanth back into cricketing mainstream is not only unnecessary but also disrespectful to the memory of all those cricketers who have played the game before him with honesty and dignity.
