The Panthers were a strong team last year and have put together another competitive team ahead of the TNPL 2023 campaign. There are no reports of injuries across the squad so we expect to see their first choice XI selected for this game.

- Jagtheesan Kousik - The 28 year old is a match winner with both bat and ball. His batting has developed across the last 24 months.
