The Kerala Cricket League (KCL) 2025 kicks off in grand style on Thursday, August 21, at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. The second season of the state’s T20 carnival will see six franchises battling it out across 33 matches, with Sanju Samson’s presence adding a new level of excitement.
Sanju, who fetched a record ₹26.8 lakh at the auction (the most in history), is set to feature in the opening night clash when Kochi Blue Tigers face Adani Trivandrum Royals at 7:45 pm IST. However, his availability beyond the tournament opener remains after Samson was drafted in India’s squad for the Asia Cup 2025.
Sanju Samson’s Short But Impactful KCL Stint
Sanju Samson did not participate in KCL’s inaugural season but will represent Kochi Blue Tigers this time, captained by his elder brother Saly Samson. His inclusion has brought immense spotlight on the league, even though the national team call-up could limit his appearances.
India are scheduled to leave for the Asia Cup in early September, and Samson is part of the 15-member squad. While Kochi fans will be eager to see him in action, they may have to make the most of his opening night appearance against Trivandrum Royals, who are among the most balanced sides in the competition.
