CP Rizwan From Kerala Leads UAE Team In Asia Cup Qualifiers
C.P. Rizwan, the newly-appointed T20 captain of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cricket team for the Asia Cup qualifier hails from the vibrant seaside town of Thalassery in north Kerala. The town is synonymous with the Three Cs -- Cricket, Cake and Circus -- as it is believed to be the cradle of all the three.
Almost all the Indian circuses are owned by people from Thalassery, the most famous bakeries are based out of Thalassery, and it is said that Colonel Arthur Wellesley, the man who eventually defeated Napoleon and became the Prime Minister of Great Britain, introduced cricket for the first time in India at Thalassery when he was commanding the East India Company's forces stationed in Kerala in the 1790s.
