Former Indian pacer Sreesanth and his wife Bhuvneshwari Kumari have been blessed with a baby girl, who was born on 9 May.

The controversial cricketer expressed his happiness by sharing the news on social media.

"It's a girl", Sreesanth posted on Facebook and Twitter. 

He thanked everyone for their warm wishes and informed his fans that the kid and mother are doing good.

Thanks a lot for all the wishes ..Nd prayers..my sweet Nd beautiful baby Nd my love her mother is fine...

 He also said that becoming dad was indeed great. 

Sreesanth got married in December 2013 to Bhuveneshwari, who belongs to a royal family in Rajasthan.

The cricketer, who hails from Kerala, was allegedly involved in a match-fixing case and is expecting a positive verdict by a Delhi court later this month.
