For the first time in history, four women from Kerala were chosen to play for England in the Kabaddi World Cup. The international tournament is scheduled to be hosted in the West Midlands between March 17 and 23. The best sides from across the globe will participate in the prestigious event.
The four players, who all hail from Kerala, have been successful in the sport while in the UK. Their inclusion is a big achievement, reflecting the international reach of India’s ancient sport and the increasing number of South Asian competitors in international events.
This year’s Kabaddi World Cup will be extremely competitive, with the Indian, Iranian, Pakistani teams, and many other powerful opponents competing for the title. England’s team, bolstered by these Kerala-born players, is preparing to perform strongly on their home turf.
Their presence is a source of pride for Kerala’s sports fraternity, emphasizing the state’s strong affinity for Kabaddi. As the tournament draws near, supporters cannot wait to find out how these players help England’s cause on the international stage.
