Thiruvananthapuram: International cricketer Sanju Samson is set to return at the helm of the state cricket team after a brief hiatus. He will once again lead the side in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy National T20 tournament, kicking off on November 14.
Sanju, who recently returned home after India’s T20I tour of New Zealand, has a window before national duty resumes with the Sri Lanka series in the third week of December. Taking advantage of this break, the star cricketer will suit up for his home state. The final squad will be announced following selection trials held today at KCA's Mangalapuram Stadium, with several standout performers from the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) attending the camp.
Placed in Elite Group C, Keralam will play their preliminary round matches across stadiums in New Chandigarh and Mohali. Keralam open their campaign against Madhya Pradesh on November 14. Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Puducherry and Tripura make up the rest of the group. Having bowed out in the preliminary rounds in recent seasons, Keralam will be setting their sights firmly on securing a knockout berth this time around.
