Rojith Kalliparambil Ganesh (born 13 November 1993) is an Indian cricketer who represents Kerala in domestic cricket.[2] He is an allrounder who bats right-handed and bowls right-arm legspin.[3]
Rojith was born on 13 November 1993 in Wadakkanchery of Thrissur district of Kerala.[2][1] He started his career as a tennis-ball cricketer. He has trained in Athreya Cricket Academy in Thrissur and South Zone Kottarakara CC and then went on to play for Sree Kerala Varma College, Thrissur.[1]
In December 2020, Rojith earned his maiden Kerala call-up as he was included in the Kerala squad for playing the 2020-21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy[4] based on his performances for Athreya and South Zone in state-level and national-level tournaments. Though, he did not get a chance to play in the tournament.[1]
He made his List A debut for Kerala on 22 February 2021 against Uttar Pradesh in the 2020-21 Vijay Hazare Trophy.[5] He played only 2 matches in the tournament and had a forgettable season scoring just 10 runs and didn't take a single wicket.[6]
He was part of the title-winning KCA Royals of the 2020-21 season of KCA President's Cup T20.[7][8] His performance in the tournament led to Mumbai Indians signing him as a reserve player ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.[9][10][11]
He made his Twenty20 debut on 4 November 2021, for Kerala in the 2021–22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.[12]
