Kochi IPL Team

Shailendra Gaikwad group (including Vivek Venugopal) gets Kerala IPL Team


City Cricketers - Kerala IPL Cricket Team - Mohanlal and Priyadarshan IPL team from KeralaTop Bollywood director Priyadarshan and Mollywood superstar Mohanlal plan to start a cricket team from Kerala for the next IPL season, to be titled as 'City Cricketers'.

Both the top professionals were friends from their childhood days and used to play together for a local team
City Cricketers; Priyan was an opening batsman while Lal was an allrounder.

They have roped in Shashi Tharoor, the new Union Minister of State for External Affairs, as the chairman of their team and have the full support of the KCA. Soon, they will approach the BCCI with the proposal and if they get the approval, their team will debut in the next IPL in 2010.

Priyan has already used his friendship with Shah Rukh Khan to send five promising cricketers from Kerala --Mohammed Niaz, Mohammed Sanuth, Rohan Prem, P Prashanth and Sanju V Samson — to attend the selection trials of the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Update!
Two NRIs and a few corporates are willing to fund the project which will cost around Rs 250 crore. The team will have its own state-of-the-art cricket stadium near Kovalam. Former Indian player and fielding coach Robin Singh has been signed as the technical director.

“The KCA will approach the BCCI with our proposal, and if all goes well, we will start our IPL innings next year,” concludes Priyadarsan.

Update! june 24,2009

Asin to be made the City Cricketers brand ambassador


Though the dotted line is far from being signed, fans are already hollering for actress Asin to be made the team's brand ambassador. Anupriya, a DU student says: "Asin will be the perfect choice because as a young Keralite she embodies the rising aspirations of youngsters in the state.

Plus, she is so glamourous." Agreeing with her, Amit Kartikeyan, a software pro, adds "a good second choice could be Vidya Balan, another Keralite" On the name of the team: City Cricketers, Manoj Madhavan, a media professional says "It's a weak name, sounds very local and has no Kerala flavour, it should have been something like Southern heroes.
Kerala IPL cricket team is my vision: Priyadarshan


Update! Februsry 18,2010
It has been heard that the initial name of Kerala IPL Cricket Team will be Kerala Tuskers (At least in Application for IPL Bid on March 8, 2010)

Priyadarsan,Mohanlal with the support of Muthoot Pappachan and some NRI's. I believe they can do it! Cheers to This team. God Bless

Brave Move. Kudos to Mohanlal and Priyadarshan. After all Our state, pioneers in Sports cannot leave aside Cricket. May be the name "City Cricketers" does not have a Mallu touch. How about the name "Malabar Tuskers" ?

"TEAM METALICS"
"HARD ROKZ"
"TIGER BOYS"
"KING COBRAS"
Sarath & Sagar
Irinjalakuda

Kerala is a state which has beautiful water bodies in plenty when compared to other south indian states. So let the team's name be "COCHIN SEAHAWKS".
The eyes of a hungry seahawk desperately searching for its prey can be used as the logo. But dont let the seahawk appear on the team's jersey. The jersey should be light blue in colour reflecting the freshness of a sea.

ideal team name would be ' lungi bros', face of the franchise' mamukoya'

Kudos to both legends mohanlal and priyadarshan for thinkin in a different perspective.

For rest of the IPL teams, their state names are mentioned explicitely in it.
There is not much fire in the current chosen name 'City Cricketers' .However it's a good decision tat u didn't focus on a particular area like cochin/malabar/....while naming it.

It's kind of a sober name - not much passion in it.The name bought back memory of a bunch of kids playing in the poojapura maidanam .

Here we are talking about a team that'll be known to a national/international level. Shouldn't you consider something that'll sound more powerful?

May almighty bless you with your midas touch in this venture as well.
California said…
Hi It is good to hear that Kerala is starting an IPL team. Thank you laletta and Priyan Sir. However, the name does not sounds strong or has any connection with Kerala, therefore it is my humble request to change its name such as Cochin Tigers/Cochin Lions/Thunder kerala, Cochin/ etc. Any thing that is powerful. I wish my support and prayer for it
