I would Love to Play for Kochi Team: Sreesanth

New Delhi, Mar 21 (PTI) : Paceman S Sreesanth on Sunday hailed the inclusion of a Kochi-based franchise in the Indian Premier League and said he would love to shift loyalty from Kings XI Punjab to the new side next year. 

"I would love to play for Kerala because there is nothing like playing for a home team. I love Punjab and really enjoy playing for the Punjab team in IPL, but when you have your own state team, anyone would like to play for that," Sreesanth, who hails from Kochi, said.

Little known consortium Rendezvous Sports World Limited today won the Kochi franchise of the Twenty20 League with a staggering bid worth USD 333.33 million.

Sreesanth also hoped that a Kerala franchise will help the state produce more national level cricketers.

"Its a great news. I think, its a great opportunity for cricketers of Kerala who missed out on good chances to play in Ranji Trophy. Now this will give them a fine opportunity to showcase their talents," the 27-year-old told CNN-IBN.

"I would like to thank (MoS for External Affairs) Sashi Tharoor and all others for this," he added.

    Shreeshanth you have proved of giving 51 runs in 4 over in last match. Do you think now Kochi team will take you.They will be the biggest loosers if you are in their team. Kochi pls wake up and find some good players for your next IPL . All the best to KOCHI IPL TEAM FOR 2011.

    I hope Srisanth can justify his place in the current team (Punjab X1) rather than hoping for a new franchise. Having paid astronomical sum to aquire the franchise, I think only the local pride might tempt them to take Srisanth, talent has deserted him. A poor casualty of the modern age cricket which breeds a feeling among raw cricketers that dance, party and endorsement will make up for the lack of hardwork, determination and talent. I am sure he will be left holding the bucket in a couple of years.
