After the high of the 2018-19 season, during which it entered the semifinals of the Ranji Trophy for the first time ever, Kerala hasn’t qualified for the knock-out stage of the premier cricket tournament.
During the same period, Kerala earned the reputation as a dangerous side, capable of upsetting top teams, in T20 and limited overs cricket. It entered the knock-out rounds consistently in both the Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare competitions.
A new Ranji season beckons and under new coach M. Venkatramana, Kerala will look to replicate its recent success in white ball cricket into the longer format.
