THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former India pacer
Tinu Yohannan (41) was on Monday appointed as the coach of Kerala senior men’s
cricket
team. Yohannan will take over the reins from
Dav Whatmore of Australia.
The
Kerala Cricket Association
took the decision during an online meeting held on Monday.
In 2001, Yohannan became the first player from Kerala to play Test cricket for India when he donned the national cap in the first Test against England in Mohali. He played three Tests and three ODIs for India between 2001 and 2002, taking five wickets in each format. The right arm medium pacer took 145 wickets in 59 first class matches for Kerala.
He is the son of TC Yohannan, a former Asian Games record-holder in long jump, who also represented India in the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
