Other cricketers from Kerala include Tinu Yohannan, son of Olympic long jumper T. C. Yohannan and K. N. Ananthapadmanabhan (344 first class wickets).
Tinu is the son of T. C. Yohannan, a long jumper who held the national record for nearly 3 decades and represented India in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada.
He is only the fourth Kerala born cricketer to play International cricket after Abey Kuruvilla, Tinu Yohannan and Sreesanth.
Together with Renjith Menon and Tinu Yohannan, Prashanth Menon formed a formidable pace trio, which revived the fortunes of the Kerala cricket team during the early 21st century.
