Mohali (Punjab), Dec 15 : Indian fast-bowler S. Sreesanth was discharged from Fortis Hospital here Tuesday evening after recovering from influenza A (H1N1) virus, officials said.

Sreesanth was admitted in this hospital last week Thursday with symptoms of body ache, fever and sore throat. The hospital authorities took his throat and nasal swab samples and his test report came positive.

"Sreesanth has now recovered from swine flu after being administered a full course of Tamiflu and hence has been discharged from hospital," said Ashish Banerji, director of Fortis Hospital, here Tuesday.

Sreesanth had come here last week along with the Indian cricket team to play in a Twenty-20 match against Sri Lanka at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium. However, he could not play the match due to the infection.

"Sreesanth will board a flight to Kochi from Chandigarh airport tomorrow (Wednesday) at around 10.35 a. m.," said an official spokesperson of PCA here Tuesday.
