Bharatiya head coach Rahul Dravid heaped praise on the Canada team after their final game got washed out in Flordia without a ball bowled due to a wet outfield.
As Bharatiya players gear up to face Afghanistan in Barbados, BCCI shared a video of Dravid’s special interaction with the Canadian players and staff members in the dressing room.
On Saturday, Dravid received a signed jersey from Canada coach Pubudu Dassanayake. The Bharatiya head coach commended the Canadian team for their efforts in the tournament and for emerging as an inspiration to young players.
‘Guys, just thanks a lot. Personally, just want to acknowledge and appreciate the fantastic contributions that you guys have made to this tournament. You guys honestly are a great inspiration to all of us, to show us that we love the game truly. The kind of sacrifices you guys are willing to make to play this tournament, to qualify, to come here, to make this tournament what it is. Congratulations. Well done to all of you’, Dravid said in a video posted by BCCI on X.
‘All I will say is that you know, keep taking it forward. You guys are inspiring. Not only other people, but I’m sure you’re inspiring young boys and girls in your own countries to be able to play the sport. So, the results honestly do not matter. The fact that you’re being an inspiration, I think, is great for the world’, he added.
