The much-awaited T20 international match will also mark the launch of the ‘Yes to Cricket, No to Drugs’ anti-drug campaign that is being jointly undertaken by the Kerala Police and the Kerala Cricket Association.

According to Inspector General Manoj Abraham, the campaign is aimed at shifting the focus of youngsters from drugs and other intoxicants towards sports, including cricket.

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will formally launch the campaign at the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium here on Monday in the presence of the members of the Indian cricket team.

Around 20,000 school students are also expected to take part in the programme.
