Sreesanth, the India fast bowler, has been removed as captain of his state team Kerala but has been included in a list of 24 probables for the 2010-11 domestic season. Allrounder Raiphi Gomez replaces Sreesanth at the helm with batsman Robert Fernandez as his deputy.
A significant exclusion from the list is medium-pacer and India's first Test cricketer from Kerala, Tinu Yohannan. His previous season was poor, as he played three Ranji Trophy Plate League games and went wicketless.
Sreesanth was only marginally better, grabbing one wicket in three games while conceding 146 runs at over four-an-over. He had also been given a final warning by the Kerala Cricket Association in October last year for disciplinary reasons, and had been warned by the BCCI the same month that he will be suspended from domestic cricket if he violates the code of conduct.
Kerala drew their first two games last season before losing the next two to Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana by substantial margins.
Kerala probables list: Raiphi Gomez (capt), Robert Fernandez (vice-captain), Sreesanth, Rohan Prem, Abhishek Hegde, Karimuttathu Rakesh, VA Jagadeesh, Sony Cheruvathur, Sachin Baby, Arun Paulose, Sebastian Antony, Padmanabhan Prasanth, Sambasiva Sarma, CP Riswan, Arjun NK, Jineesh, Ramesh Kumar, Surjith, Kanakkatharaparambu Sreejith, Sunil Thomas, Chandra Tejas (wk), Prasanth Pramaeswaran, Manu Krishnan, Nizar Niyas.
