Kochi, May 5: Bowlers claiming all ten wickets in an innings is a rarity in cricket and more so in junior level cricket. But on Wednesday 18-year-old Nazil CT from Kannur became the first bowler to achieve the unique feat of claiming all ten wickets in an innings in Kerala's junior inter-district tournament history.

NazilNazil was the cynosure of all eyes on the opening day of two-day U-19 inter-district cricket match at the KCA stadium in Perinthalmanna as his ten-wicket haul helped his side, Kannur, bundle out Malappuram for just 26 in their first innings. The lad who has just completed his plus two ended up with figures of 9.4-2-12-10 Nazil, who considers himself predominantly a swing bowler, was ecstatic at his achievement. "I'm an inswing bowler and I don't strive for much pace and it helped that the ball moved around in the morning," he said.

Out of his 10 scalps, 4 were bowled and three were leg-before wickets which exemplifies the fact that he kept probing the stumps.

Nazil comes from a family with a cricketing background. Fabid Farooq, the off-spinner who made his first-class debut for Kerala last season, is the son of Nazil's uncle. Nazil nurses ambitions of following the footsteps of his cousin and playing Ranji Trophy.

"I would like to play for Kerala one day. For the moment, it's about doing well for my district team," said the pacer who idolises Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, another swing

Mangaluru, May 7: The Dakshina Kannada District Muslim Okkoota has strongly condemned permit for opening of textile and footwear shops across the district at a time when the number of Covid-19 positive cases are on the rise.

In a press note here on Thursday, former Mayor and Okoota President Ashraf alleged that the permission to open the shops at a time when Eid-ul-Fitr was nearing would lead to rush in the shops in turn bringing in fear of spread of Covid-19. 

He expressed his resentment over the fact that the administration has neglected the appeal made by the Okkoota as well as the Qazi of Udupi against permitting textile shops during the lockdown period.

He warned that the administration, district in-charge Minister, MLA and MP themselves will be responsible in case of increased infection cases due to this decision.

The district in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary yesterday had announced that textile shops in the district can be opened from May 7.
