Built more like a flyweight than a fast bowler, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth is not afraid to voice his forthright opinions to much heftier opponents.

A combative performer, capable of dangerous late movement in the air and off the seam at pace, he is a genuine wicket-taking threat.

His economy rate in the cut and thrust of ODIs may be seen as a concern, but he fared well in the Champions Trophy match with Australia, taking 2-43.
