Sreesanth is innocent, we trust judiciary: Parents

Kochi, Jun 6: The parents of cricketer Sreesanth have said that their son is innocent and that they trust the judiciary.

The circle of his sympathisers has grown big since a Delhi court extended his judicial custody for two weeks, and there are talks about him receiving an unfair treatment as the fellow accused were sent on bail.¬

Sreesanth’s parents Santhakumaran Nair and Savithri Devi addressed the media for a brief, emotional 10 minutes at the residence of their son-in-law and noted playback singer Madhu Balakrish-nan at Tripunithura on Wednesday and there was no disregard for the judiciary in their words.

“We trust the judiciary and believe our son will be served justice. He is innocent and we have no doubt at all,” said Savithri Devi, braving her tears and requesting the scribes not to question them about anything.

“Sreesanth, the cricketer, has had your support always even when he was a little naughty during matches,” said his mother. “We all know he can never do such a thing,” reiterated his mother saying no family should suffer the way they did.

Clearly, they were oblivious of Sreesanth’s present situation as their only source of contact with him is elder son Dipu Santhan, who is currently in Delhi. “Yes, we want to meet him, but no we won’t go there. I am sure he will come home safe and for that he needs all your prayers,” said Savithri Devi.

Northamptonshire, Jul 31: Mexican Formula One driver Sergio Perez has tested positive for coronavirus, and as a result, he will miss the British Grand Prix.

The Racing Point driver was absent from the circuit on Thursday after self-isolating following what his team called an "inconclusive" test. Perez then re-tested later in the day and it returned positive.

Formula 1 is following a strict testing regime as part of the safety protocols put in place when racing resumed earlier this month, and this is the first time a driver has tested positive.

"Perez has entered self-quarantine in accordance with the instructions of the relevant public health authorities, and will continue to follow the procedure mandated by those authorities," Formula 1 and the FIA said in a statement.

"With the assistance of the local organiser of the British Grand Prix, local health authorities and the FIA COVID-19 delegate, a full track and trace initiative has been undertaken and all close contacts have been quarantined," the statement added.

London, Apr 7: Bowling coach Waqar Younis feels that it was the absence of pacers Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir which saw Pakistan getting whitewashed during Australia tour last year.

Amir and Riaz had quit the red-ball format ahead of the matches against Australia in 2019.

"Just before the Australia series, they ditched us and we had the only choice to pick youngsters.

We were the new management and decided to go on with taking in the younger lot and groom them. ESPNcricinfo quoted Younis as saying.

Pakistan was not able to win a single match in Australia as they got defeated both in T20Is and Test series.

"It's not like we have lost a lot, but yes they left us at the wrong time. But anyway, we don't have any grudge against them," Younis added.

"We cannot control players' choice on what they want to play, but then there should be a mechanism so we all are on board. "It's not like I am saying we could have won in Australia but we could have done better than what we have done," he opined.

Amir gave up the red ball format in July in order to manage his workload and extend his white-ball career for Pakistan as well as in T20 leagues around the world, while Riaz took an "indefinite break" from Test cricket in September last year.
