Indian pace bowler S Sreesanth has revealed that he will be happy to take on any coaching roles or play in overseas leagues after confirming his retirement from all forms of cricket on Wednesday. The senior pacer said that he is ready to play franchise-based leagues across the world after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gave him the go-ahead to be a part of the coaching set-up in the near future. He said that he decided to retire from domestic cricket to make room for youngsters in Kerala’s domestic set-up.
“Thank you for supporting me, especially on my comeback to domestic cricket. I am retiring from first-class, all forms of cricket in domestic cricket. Looking forward to being part of maybe a coaching set-up to help the youngsters. If possible, play leagues across the globe once the BCCI gives me permission,” Sreesanth said in a video message, addressing his fans on Twitter.
