It has been a disappointing show so far from Kerala at the Ranji Trophy this season. A series of underwhelming performances ended its qualification chances.
The host will be playing for pride and will be searching for its first win when it takes on a strong Bengal side in the Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match at the St. Xavier’s College ground here on Friday.
However, Kerala, which is lying sixth in the table with eight points, will have to improve on all fronts to challenge the fourth placed Bengal which has been boosted by the return of Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shabaz Ahmed and Akash Deep from their India A duty.
