The hunger to play cricket never went away: C.M. Gautam

Former Karnataka captain C.M. Gautam has taken the long and arduous route back to First Class cricket. Gautam’s long held wish to wear the whites was fulfilled when he took the field for Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club in Sri Lanka’s Major League Tournament.

The wicketkeeper-batter played two matches for the club in June, before returning to Bengaluru as the tournament was paused to accommodate the 2023 Lanka Premier League.

Gautam, 37, will fly to Sri Lanka on Wednesday, to complete his Major League Tournament season.
