Kochi IPL set to finalise name, coach

buy books online

Coming up is a crucial week for the Kochi Indian Premier League (IPL) team that will have to finalise the name, coach, support staff and a crucial agreement to be inked with the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA).

“The agreement between KCA and the team has to take place soon. Since the AGM (annual general meeting) of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is taking place later this week, there will be informal consultations with the Kochi IPL team owners,” KCA secretary TC Mathew said.

Rendezvous Sports World in March won the franchisee for the Kochi IPL team with a bid of Rs.15 billion.

The Kochi IPL team had a scare after Shashi Tharoor, who was highly supportive of the venture, lost his job as minister of state for foreign affairs after revelations that Sunanda Pushkar, now his wife, owned sweat equity in the team.

But the controversy has since settled and the team owners of Kochi IPL have been very cautious about their moves.

Quite a few names of former international cricketers, including Steve Waugh, Geoff Lawson, Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri, have been going around for the post of coach.

  1. According to me, the name that suits to Kochi IPL team is KOCHI ZOMBIES.As we have devils and riders already, Zombies(the thirsty corpses) wil provide best declaration of their motive that they are thirsty vampires and will vanquish anyone who comes on the way.Also pune team name should be pune poisons as warriors look outdated now.
