Cricket in remore areas

Olavipe was an extremely remote area till a road link was established in 1970. And cricket came to the place in 1941; just nine years after India’s Test debut! The man behind it was OC George, Ollattikulam, husband of my younger aunt Annamma (Kunjammai). We used call him Achhan. He and his brothers were well-known sportsmen of the erstwhile Cochin State. . . More. . .
