Sreeshanth is from the South Indian state of Kerela. He is the second kerelite to represnt India in International cricket. He is a fast-medium bowler with an average speed of about 141.3 km/h, which is pretty fast. He scored his first run in ODIs in his 10th match, as he bats at number 11. Once at Abu Dhabi, he bowled so fast that his armband came out of his arm and was flung 8 yards away! I forgot most the stuff that I read on his childhood. But you can check it on www.cricinfo.com (search for Sreeshanth).

Answer 4

Shanthakumaran Sreesanth pronunciation (help·info) (born February 6, 1983 in Kothamangalam, Kerala, India), popularly known as Sri Sreesanth and also nicknamed Gopu, is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-arm fast-medium-pace bowler and a right-handed tail-ender batsman.

Sreesanth initially was a leg-spinner in his childhood, modelling his action on India's leading Test wicket-taker and now teammate Anil Kumble. However, his habit of bowling yorkers lead him to convert to fast bowling, after being encouraged by his elder brother. Following in the footsteps of fellow Kerala fast bowler Tinu Yohannan, who earned selection to the National Cricket Academy in 2000, Sreesanth was selected for the MRF Pace foundation in Chennai. He then made his first-class debut against Goa in the 2002-03 domestic season, claiming 22 wickets in seven matches in the Ranji Trophy and meriting a selection for South Zone in the Duleep Trophy squad in the same season. He was selected for India-A side in a tour match against the visiting New Zealand side at Rajkot. He claimed one wicket in twelve overs after being restricted with a hamstring injury. He also missed five Ranji Trophy games in that season, although he still travelled with the side for away games. This lead to rumours that an astrologer convinced him to take a break from competition to preserve his longevity in the sport, which Sreesanth categorically denied, maintaining that he was training only to regain his fitness [1].

In November 2004, Sreesanth entered the record books when he took a hat-trick against Himachal Pradesh in a Ranji trophy game, the first time it was achieved by a Kerala bowler, earning him the nickname The Prince of hat-tricks amongst Keralites. He was selected to represent India B in the Challenger Trophy in October 2005, a domestic limited-overs tournament [2]. His strong performance in that tournament, being the leading wicket taker (7) with the third best bowling average [3] lead to selection for the Indian team for the home ODI series against Sri Lanka

Sreesanth was given the new ball [5] in the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. After being punished early by Kumar Sangakkara and Sanath Jayasuriya, Sreesanth returned to claim his first two ODI wickets at the end of the match [6]. He was left out of the team and was later recalled for the fourth, fifth and sixth ODIs as coach Greg Chappell tinkered with the line-up. He was retained in the squad [7] but did not play in the 5 match series against South Africa, but played all five matches in the tour to Pakistan, recording a haul of 4/58 in the fifth ODI against Pakistani cricket team in Karachi. A good home series against the England in April 2006, in which he claimed 10 wickets at an average of 16.3, including a career best 6/55 in the final match at Indore (in which he was awarded the man of the match award [8])[9], lead to him subsequently being awarded a BCCI contract, in the C-grade [10] in May.

His disappointing economy rate has led him to be culled from the ICC Champions Trophy squad of 14, with the beneficiary being Rudra Pratap Singh.He made an unexpected come back to the blue squad due to the injury to Ajit Agarkar later in the tournament.
