In the last decade or so, the game of cricket has evolved as a sport where behind the curtain activities has become as interesting as the happenings inside the boundary lines.
One day a player who is involved with the ICL imparting his expert knowledge of the game on the ongoing Asia Cup and in the next moment the Indian cricket authorities are coming on at ESPN was hosting the telecast with all arms bended shouting, “sack the bugger”.
It’s dangerous to read too much into the first week of a tournament like the Asia Cup. However, we won both the games comprehensively and we achieved most of the objectives we set ourselves as a team. All in all, we are pretty satisfied and are now looking forward to the bigger challenges ahead, starting today with Pakistan.
