CCL 2013 - Amma's Kerala Strikers

It's elimination round for Kerala Strikers

KOCHI: Many of them have attended elimination rounds of reality shows as judges. This time the situation will be slightly different for the film stars playing Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) for Kerala Strikers. In the 'elimination round' to be held today, the stars will be in the shoes of candidates keenly waiting for the judges' decision.

It is a tiresome job for the selector to make the final pick of 14 from the 19 players who have been part of the team ever since the practice session and friendly matches started three months ago. "It's a difficult job for me. But I have to do it,'' said Pankaj Chandrasenan, coach and selector of the team. "The all-round performance and fitness of the players will be crucial. I will have to keep the balance of the team in mind while selecting,'' he added.

Selecting the final XI for each match will also be a difficult job for the selector. Rumours are doing the rounds about whether the 'stars' will play or not. "Those who were not regular at the practice sessions may not figure in the team. But the organisers will have to ensure that the charm of celebrity cricket is not lost. So, keeping out prominent stars will not be a good idea. But I am sure, Unni Mukundan, Bineesh Kodiyeri,Vivek Gopan, Manikkuttan and Rajiv Pillai will be in the team. They play well,'' a player said.

Mohan Lal and Indrajith are the captain and vice-captain. Others in the team are Prithviraj,Boban Kunjacko, Bala, Saiju Kurup, Manikuttan, Unni Mukundan, Vinu Mohan, Bineesh Kodiyeri, Prajodh Kalabhavan, Munna, Nivin Pauly, Vivek Gopan, Rajat Menon, Rajeev Pillai, Asif Ali, Riyas Khan and Nikhil. In the first match the team will take on Chennai Rhinos in Hyderabad on January 21. The next day Kerala Strikers will play Mumbai Heroes in a home match in Kochi.

Kerala Strikers likely to axe Asif Ali


KOCHI: Asif Ali, one of the most promising young stars in Malayalam cinema, is likely to be axed from Malayalam cine actors cricket team AMMA’s Kerala Strikers. He has not been reporting at the training camps and had not even informed the team officials the reason of his absence. Sources in the team said that they were not able to contact him over phone or in person. Another young star, Prithviraj is also not attending the training camp but he had officially informed that he was busy with his shooting schedule.

However, the Kerala Strikers team for its first Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) match against Chennai Rhinos will be announced on Tuesday. A sixteen-member squad will be selected from the nineteen teammates. “It is a confusing task to drop three players from equally talented cricketers. It will be further difficult to drop five more players to select the 11-member squad for the match,” team coach Chandrasenan said.

Expressing confidence in his team, coach Chandrasenan said: “I hope no team will pose a threat to us. We have seven all-rounders in the team, who are good at taking on any ball and also to bowl round the wicket.”

The team will start practising on their home ground at the Jawaharlal Nehru International stadium, Kaloor, from Monday.The team will leave for Hyderabad on January 20 for their first match in CCL against Chennai Rhinos.

Ticket distribution for the Strikers’ lone home match, scheduled for January 22, against Mumbai Heroes will kickstart within a couple of days. The match will have the presence of major Malyalam film actors, politicians and other VIPs.
