Melbourne: Sreesanth has said he was cautious about not inviting any trouble before the Test series against Australia to make sure he makes the cut and helps his team win matches Down Under later this year. The Indian paceman has drawn sharp criticisms for his aggression.

Former Australian captain Ian Chappell had suggested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should “ban” Sreesanth for few matches to control his aggressive on-field behaviour which was on display during the just concluded seven-match series.

India will play three-Test away series against Australia beginning December 26.

“My dad, my brother and my first coach, all three are coming to watch the game. They made me promise that I would have to be in the XI. So every match, every over is important for me at the moment,” Sreesanth said.

“...I love this game and I love to help my teammates and my country. I don’t want to get into any trouble, as I used to,” he told an Australian daily. (PTI)
