Fire force units from Thrikkakkara and Gandhi Nagar rushed to the spot and doused the fire.

A couple of day's ago the ombudsman of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had reduced Sreesanth's lifelong ban from cricket to seven years.

In 2013, Sreesanth was banned from playing for life by BCCI's disciplinary committee after he was accused of betting and spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League.

With the latest BCCI order the 36-year-old can return to the playing field in 2020.
