Stating that Sreeshant was a very enterprising cricketer, Kapil said the young Kerala pacer alone would be responsible if his performance suffers because of his off-field activities.
"The boy should come back to cricket, otherwise he will be the sufferer and nobody else," Kapil said referring to his acting and singing ventures.
The country's only World Cup-winning captain said Sreeshant's aggression should be constructive and should be for his own good and for the team.
"Aggression on the field is very good. But, that should help you deliver," Kapil said.
"You should perform and that is the bottom line," he said.
On the criticism that cricket in the country was getting more encouragement than other sports, Kapil said corporates and media should focus more on the development of sports events other than cricket.
"Cricket will survive. I want the corporates to put money on other sports. That did not mean that cricket should be pulled down," he said.
On Indian Premier League and Indian Cricket League, Kapil said the people of the country would judge after watching both though he said IPL was a success in terms of marketing.
Kapil, also Brand Ambassador of West Bengal-based SRMB Udyog Ltd, was talking to reporters after signing an MOU between Kerala Small Industries Development Corporation Ltd and SRMB.
Welcoming the proposed new rules of BCCI for appointing selectors, Kapil said BCCI's move would do good to the game.
"That will bring back cricketers to cricket," he said. The MOU was for marketing the products of SRMB through SIDCO's 140 outlets across the state.
