Tourism promoters in Wayanad in association with the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) and the District Tourism Promotional Council have launched a cricket tourism project to tap the potential of tourism as well as cricket in the district.
A team from Zimbabwe, trained by former test player Elton Chigumbura, played three T20 matches against a Kerala XI at the Krishnagiri stadium, the lone high altitude stadium in southern India, on Friday and Saturday as part of it.
“Our players are happy to play on such an excellent ground at high altitude and in a beautiful place as Wayanad,” says Chigumbura. “It has been a wonderful trip to India and Wayanad. The team has also played in Hyderabad and Bangalore on the tour,” he says.
