Despite all his efforts to make a comeback for the IPL Auction, former India pacer S Sreesanth has not made it to the final list of players.

Sreesanth, who returned to competitive cricket after serving out a seven-year ban for involvement in spot-fixing in IPL, was hopeful of getting picked at the auction and play in the IPL once again.

Sreesanth returned to competitive cricket when he was named in Kerala's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad where in 18 overs in 5 games he picked 4 wickets only.
