BCCI President Sourav Ganguly lauded Yash Dhull & Co’s efforts in the tournament and said the reward was just a token of appreciation.
“Firstly, huge congratulations to the selection committee, because it was a new selection committee and it was quite challenging for them to identify this group and after that I think it’s the coaching staff with Hrishikesh as the head coach, Sairaj Munish Bali and all the support staff. The way they brought this group together, they worked really hard and won the Asia Cup and the preparation to this World Cup was fantastic,” NCA Director VVS Laxman said after the match.
In the middle of the tournament we all know what happened to the boys, to test positive but to show that kind of resilience and positive attitude is exemplary. I think BCCI has to be complemented, the number of tournaments each age group players get to play, but unfortunately over the last two years because of Covid they didn’t play any tournament and that’s why this win is very special. It is just a learning process and everyone understands that in the group, Exciting times for all of them.
