Alvin Kallicharan, a stylish left-hander, featured in 66 Tests and 31 ODIs and was part of the West Indies team that won the inaugural World Cup in 1975.

“Alvin Kallicharan will mentor the men’s and women’s teams in all categories in Pondicherry. His presence will inspire cricketers here and hope they will benefit by picking his brains,” a CAP official said. “Vinay Kumar is set to join the team after the conclusion of the Karnataka Premier League,” added the official.

Apart from Vinay Kumar, former Tamil Nadu batsman KB Arun Karthik and Himachal Pradesh’s Paras Dogra are also the guest players. The team are to participate in the Vizzy Trophy to kick off preparations for the upcoming domestic season.

Vinay Kumar, who played one Test, 31 ODIs and nine T20Is for India, led Karnataka to two Ranji Trophy titles (in 2013-’14 and 2014-’15). He had a stellar 15-year career for Karnataka and also led them to victories in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, taking 459 wickets from 130 first-class games.

The official said the presence of Arun Karthik and Dogra adds solidity to the squad, which is a blend of experience and youth.
