Discipline Sreesanth now, warns Ian

Describing S Sreesanth as an “accident waiting to happen”, former Australian captain Ian Chappell has urged the BCCI to discipline the Kerala pacer before he becomes another Shoaib Akhtar.

“If the BCCI needs any prompting on why they should discipline Sreesanth before he has a major crash, they only have to look at Pakistan’s mishandling of Shoaib Ahktar in his early days,” Chappell was quoted as saying in Cricinfo.

“The PCB has finally done what it should have a long time ago: brought Shoaib into line with a suspension and serious fine.

Chapell added that if Sreesanth continued with his aggressive ways, then one day he would be in serious trouble and the BCCI needed to control the bowler.
