Sreesanth was banned for life by the BCCI for his alleged role in the IPL spot-fixing in 2013. Last Monday, August 7, a single judge bench of the Kerala High Court had passed an order that the bowler's life ban is lifted.

On Thursday, August 10, the BCCI decided to appeal to the Division Bench of Kerala High Court against the lifting of the life ban on the 34-year-old.

Sreesanth however, has apologised to the national cricket body for his tweets.

"My eagerness to play representative cricket made me tweet against my parent body. Let me express my regrets to any, whom might have been pained by it," read one of his tweets.
