WPL 2024: A mother’s ambition sparked a cricketing revolution in Wayanad

For a long time, Wayanad did not have a women’s cricket team. Something changed when a physical education teacher from Mananthavady village – Elsamma Baby – came into the picture. Her daughter, Anumol, was an aspiring cricket player, but barring herself and a friend with similar aspirations, Wayanad did not have enough players to field a team for regional tournaments. Elsamma then recruited a few players from her school to make up the outfit.
