The Kerala Team has decided not to participate in the Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) 2025 due to internal conflicts within the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). This decision follows the dissolution of the AMMA body in light of the Hema Committee Report, which highlighted significant issues within the organization.
Mohanlal, the President of AMMA, resigned from his position following the report's release, which exposed widespread allegations of misconduct and harassment in the Malayalam film industry. His resignation, along with the dissolution of the AMMA executive committee, has created a turbulent atmosphere within the industry.
The Kerala Team's withdrawal from CCL 2025 is a direct response to these controversies. The team believes that participating in the league during such a contentious period would be inappropriate and would detract from the ongoing efforts to address the serious allegations raised by the report.
This decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting the Kerala Team's stance while others express disappointment over their absence in the league. The future of AMMA and the Kerala Team's involvement in future CCL events remains uncertain as the industry continues to address the fallout from the Hema Committee Report.
