Watch | Former India cricketer Sreesanth begins second innings, with BJP

The BJP on Friday fielded former India pacer S Sreesanth from the Thiruvananthapuram seat even as it declared 50 other candidates for the upcoming assembly polls in Kerala. After a nearly four-hour-long meeting, the BJP announced that Sreesanth has formally joined the party and would contest from Thiruvananthapuram. Talking to reporters at a media briefing, 33-year-old Sreesanth said his name has been cleared by the court in a match-fixing case and he is, therefore, not worried about any Opposition attack on him regarding the controversy.
