CLUB HISTORY

The club Kasargod cricket club was founded on 6th august 2023. The First series we played was against chemnaad Cricket Club it was a 5 match odi series. We lost the match 4-1. Then I understood that we needed quick revamps for the team. So, I started looking for investments. So there came an investor named Badri manas from Punjab. He gave us little help by providing us little money. With that we signed

harris Rauf. So, my b board of directors approved my decision. As we won back-to-back odi series against England, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia. Arhaan Manoj top scored against England back-to-back 50 in 5 odis. Captain qalandar sahib praised Arhaan Manoj for top scoring in the 5 odis Against England. So, he became an irreplaceable part of my team. Myself AHM the Batting coach of my team. Waqar Younis the bowling coach of my team and Navdeep Saini the fielding coach of my team. so let me introduce you to my squad Rohan Satish, Crash soman, Mani Mikey smith Pradeep Mathew, kulhad Manas, Santosh Jambhavan, Pandeshwar Reddy, Manasa Veeresalingam, Arhaan Manoj. Jennah KS. These are the players in my main eleven. Zapier das, Sandeep Washington, Mansingh deep, Sundara Manish, Diya CH, Zoha TH, Loman Samuel Khairah RH, Sandeep Singh Warrier, Thakur DH. These are the eleven substitutes in my team. So, for the upcoming odi series against Zimbabwe we decided on taking our substitutes for letting them gain some experience in the main squad so we took them to Harare. Where we lost 3-2.

The T20 Days

For the T20 against England we took our first team. But unfortunately, Arhaan Manoj had an injury in that game. So, we substituted him with Rohan Satish. Rohan Satish scored 100 in the first t20 I series. The 2 remaining t20i matches we won both and won the series 3-0. So, we took Arhaan Manoj to the hospital where it was revealed he had an injury to his thumb. So, he was out for 6 months. The rest 6 months were difficult for Kasaragod Cricket club. Let’s find out why in the next chapter

Challenging Days

We lost all our t20 odis and test matches without Arhaan Manoj. But when he returned, he top scored and gained his spot back to the team. So, with his guidance we won t20i, odi and test series. with immense contribution from the team, we managed to defeat every team in the home leg and away leg. So as the next challenge the Asia cup was coming up, we had to select a team to send to Dhaka. So, we selected the same roster. To send to Dhaka. We won the Asia cup and let’s find out the next part of this story in the next chapter.

T20 world cup, test series, odis and a match against Pakistan

So, we were the hosts of the T20 world cup. To be played in Thiruvananthapuram. The only match we lost was against west indies in the group stage. After that we got eliminated after super 12 stage. So, it was disappointing that we got eliminated from group stage itself so we practiced with the test series, odi series and t20 I series which we won. Also, the match against Pakistan we won. So next up on our agenda was west indies we badly thrashed them at their home. We played el classico against Cherkala Cricket club. Both those matches we won. So, it was a morale booster. We even won the test series against Pakistan in Pakistan. After that we toured Dubai to take on the Abu Dhabi tuskers so we won the 2 match t20 series 2-0. Next, we had to go to Oman. So, we travelled from Dubai to Muscat. To take on Oman fury. So, we had 2 match test series. Which ended in a draw. We returned to Kasaragod after that. It was warmup period as we had to play Scotland in Kerala. So Scottish team arrived in Kerala. To play a 3 match odi series. Which ended in a 1-1 draw. Next up we had to go to Sri Lanka to take on the Lankan tigers. For a 2 match t20i series. We managed to draw that 0-0. So, the exciting matches are in the next chapter.

We won the t20 world cup for the first time in our history. We managed this through the nice bowling and batting coordination by the players. So, as we were nearing the conclusion of the team’s glorious season and as also, we had played Pakistan in India the outcome of that match and result will be in the next story stay tuned.

Playing Pakistan in India

We played our nemesis in India and we won all the formats against them. What was to rejoice more a double victory over Pakistan? You might ask. It was indeed a day for double celebration as we had managed to beat Pakistan in Pakistan and also in India. The next reason to celebrate was that Arhaan Manoj, Jennah Ks, Diya CH, Zoha TH, Khairah RH had managed to score double hundreds for both the legs in Pakistan and india. The next surprise was that an injury was too heartbreaking for a player. Which is that player you may ask? That player will be revealed in the next chapter.

An untimely and unfortunate injury

DIYA CH had injured herself going for skating in Kerala. During monsoon and as feared it happened. Diya CH was ruled out for the winter series against Bangladesh, Pakistan and England. We managed to defeat all the teams without much effort. The next part will be a tribute to Diya CH and all the legends of our cricket club.

The legends match in Durham

So, in order to pay our due respects to our club legends we played the legends cup in Durham. Which we managed to win. Even we had planned another match for these club legends. The location and city will be revealed in the next chapter.

The legends cricket league in Dubai

The next legends match was in Dubai. To be more specific with you people the matches were in Sharjah United Arab Emirates. We managed to win that too. All thanks to our players. Some players had even gotten a phone call from jay shah the secretary of the board of control for cricket in India (BCCI). I was shocked that there was no way for that to happen. Let’s find out what in the next chapter.

Callup to the India national cricket team

My whole squad had been selected to India National Cricket team. They had done it they had dominated the world and for me as coach I was so happy. There was no chance that their talent would be wasted. My team had done it they had showed the world that they could also be selected for their national team. Even my players were happy. Even some felt that they had achieved their dream. I was so happy for them that we celebrated the callup that whole night. We were so happy that I decided to not keep a training session that day. But the next day was very intense with many training sessions. And players who had not been there for training ran and jogged. They even raced against each other so as to improve

their stamina. I was so happy that day for my team that I had given them a treat by giving them whatever desserts they liked but told them to eat minimum because having anything in overload could affect their diet. But one decision shocked me. Let’s find out together what that decision was in the next chapter.

Rohan Satish is unsatisfied with the role he has in the team.

Rohan Satish was unhappy that his role in the team was minimalistic. He even decided to not come to training the next day. I asked him why, then he told me that he wasn’t liking the fact that I gave more importance to Arhaan Manoj. So, I asked Arhaan Manoj if he would be willing to give strike as rotation in every match from here onwards. Arhaan Manoj obliged. It was a nice decision from my side I was glad that I took that decision otherwise there would have been a rift in the squad that would have had huge impact on the squad morale and I would have gotten a bad name that I am not able to keep happiness levels high and increased in the team.

Personal awards

I won the award of best batting coach. I even won award for maintaining discipline in the squad and avoiding morale losses to whole squad because of rift that could have happened between Rohan Satish and Arhaan Manoj.

Farewell coach

I bid my despedida(farewell) to the Kasaragod cricket club on 8/6/2030. it was hard to bid farewell to a cricket team that was so close to me. But I had to do it and I wished the team success on the next journey to cricket masterclass. They even wished me success on my next coaching endeavors.
