The Kolkata Tigers will be a force to reckon with during the introductory season of the Indian Cricket League. They have a cluster of versatile all-rounders and hard-hitting batsmen. The Tigers will be captained by former New Zealand batsman Craig McMillan.

T20 specialist and opening batsman Darren Maddy will open the batting and will have alongside him former India opener Deep Dasgupta. The Kolkata Tigers possess one of the biggest draws of the league – 1999 World Cup hero Lance Klusener, whose abilities the cricketing fraternity is very aware of. ‘Zulu’ is capable of single handedly taking the Kolkata Tigers to sensation.

The Tigers also have in their ranks former Sri Lanka all-rounder and leg spinner Upul Chandana, former India batsman Rohan Gavaskar and talented middle-order batsman Abishek JhunJhunwala. Ireland Boyd Rankin will lead the pace attack and will be supported by Abu Nacheem, Sayed Ahmed and Sujoy Tarafder.
