I wish to see more of this happen in our team. More of the team pursuing further studies. It is important in the planning of their lives after their international cricketing tenure is over.

Shabash Badree! Shabash!

It is really hard to do if you are a full time player. Congrats to Samuel.

Congrats to Badree! Let's see more of that from our players. Playing time comes to an end while they are young. There is a full life ahead! Money is not sufficient.

Congratulation Mr.Badree.
