Thanks to the effort and high degree of professionalism of all at KCA, cricket in Kerala now promises to grow in leaps and bounds and the administrators of the game are up to the challenge of maintaining the integrity of its commitment to it.
An ambitious project to change the profile of Kerala Cricket
Kerala Cricket Association was formed in the year 1951 and registered under the Travancore-Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Act 1955 (Act XII of 1955).
Prologue
Kerala Cricket Association was formed in the year 1951 and is affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Kerala State Sports Authority (KSSA) in the State. There are fourteen district cricket association affiliated to it. As its inception in 1951 it was known as the Travancore-Cochin Cricket Association. Today it is one of the premier state sports associations in Kerala, affiliated to BCCI and Kerala State Sports Authority. Kerala State also has a large following for the game of cricket as in other parts of the country. Unfortunately for us, the vagaries of the weather have affected the development of the game in the state; the prolonged rainy season has been a matter of concern to the administrators and players, who are unable to keep in good nick because of the wet and uncertain climate. The development of infrastructure has been pivotal in the process. Indoor practice facilities have been few and far between, so practicing in the rains is out of the question. Even proper grounds and stadiums are hard to come by the result is backwardness in the progress of the game in the state. Read More >>
Kerala has always been in the forefront in its bid to foster sporting talent in India. Though Keralites in general favor football over any other sport, there were a few pioneers in cricket as well. The Mambally family of Clincher, contributed greatly to the enrichment of the game. PM Raghavan, who led the first Travancore-Cochin team in the Ranji Trophy in 1951, was a hard hitting batsman and an astute captain. KV Kellappan Thampuran was the live wire behind the great achievements of the Tripunithura Cricket club, formed in 1935. It was he who was the brain behind the limited over format. Col. Godavarma Raja of the Travancore royal family was responsible for putting Kerala on the sports and tourist map of India. The Kerala Cricket Association emerged from the Travancore-Cochin Cricket Association formed by him in 1950. He was the first from the state to become a vice-president of the BCCI. Read More >>

DEEP CONDOLENCES
The President and members of Kerala cricket association deeply regret the demise of the legendory cricketer Sri Balan pandit
Former Kerala Captain and Junior National Selector M Balan Pandit passed away at his residence Koonammavu, Ernakulam today
The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 pm at the residence .
About Balan Pandit
With the arrival of Balan Pandit, a new era begun in Kerala Cricket. He came with a great reputation. A product of King George School. Bombay (now Mumbai) he worked with BEST for sometime. Balan Pandit played for Kathiawar and saw at close quarters BB Nimbalkar’s huge score of over 400 runs. Narain Tamhane who donned the gloves for India was Balan’s understudy during his Bombay years.
Handsome is what handsome does’, and in whatever Balan Pandit did there was touch of class and elegance. In Balan’s first batch of students there were eight boys all drawn from the local schools. As a Coach, Balan Pandit was exacting. Nothing short of the best pleased him. He was the Sir Oracle of Kerala cricket and it was the fond dream of every budding cricketer to emulate him as a wicket keeper-batsman.
Balan Pandit’s batting was sheer lyric. He cut and drove with élan and his masterpiece was the late cut. Perhaps, the only other name that comes to mind in the execution of this stroke is the great Vinoo Mankad. In the 14th match he played for Kerala against Andhra at Palghat in 1959, Balan Pandit made an unbeaten 262. The record was broken when Sreekumar Nair hit a triple century against Services.
Against the formidable Hyderabad led by Ghulam Ahmed, Balan made a scintillating 106 out of a total of 241 at Trivandrum in 1953. I had the good fortune to watch the two great knocks.
As a wicket keeper Balan Pandit had few equals. He was agile and swift and his reflexes were sharp. He could whip the bails off in no time and some of the acrobatic catches he took behind stumps were amazing. He kept wickets for South Zone against the visiting New Zealand team in the Bangalore match
He Served as the Member of Indian Junior Selection Committee and Chairman of Kerala Senior Selection Panel and also served as the Vice President of Kerala Cricket Association
