Sreesanth also revealed that while while the team was meant to last three years, it's rather sudden dissolution meant the financial repercussions had to be borne by the cricketing fraternity as well.

"I urge you all, BCCI must have paid you by now. Please honour your commitments to us, even if it means paying with an 18% interest rate annually. The team was meant to last three years, but it was terminated after just one year. I believe this issue deserves more attention," the 41-year-old said.
