NEW DELHI: Indian international fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth was released from Tihar jail on bail on Tuesday, Press Trust of India reported.

"I don't want to forget about this episode," Press Trust of India quoted Sreesanth as saying.

He said it has taught him a lot of things.

"I totally believe in India's judiciary system and I will surely abide by the law of land," said Sreesanth after his release on bail, Press Trust of India reported.

He however defended himself, claiming he always played the game in its true spirit and with heart and soul.

The test cricketer was arrested by Delhi police in Mumbai along with fellow bowlers Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila on charges of spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 competition last month.

Sreesanth, who played the last of his 27 Tests against England two years ago, is no stranger to controversy, and was famously slapped by his teammate Harbhajan Singh during a match in 2008.
