VIDARBHA Cricket Association President Advocate Anand Jaiswal was elated with the performance of the Under-23 team which won the maiden Col CK Nayudu title defeating Madhya Pradesh in Indore on Friday.
The VCA chief was “fully satisfied” after the lone missing trophy was won by the Colts. 
“Now the VCA’s cabinet is complete. We were missing the U-23 trophy. Now we have all, from Vijay Merchant to Ranji and Irani trophies,” said Jaiswal.
Jaiswal proudly said that the manner in which the team performed throughout the tournament is really praiseworthy.
“Proud of the boys. Specially the manner in which they played the entire tournament. On number of times they were down but they picked themselves up and came back strongly to win the matches. This shows their character. They are absolute deserving winners,” acclaimed Jaiswal while talking with ‘The Hitavada’.
Jaiswal felt that the future of Vidarbha cricket is bright and has a strong bench strength.
“The performance of Under-23 and Under-19 boys shows that Vidarbha cricket has a bright future. It has a good bench strength and good feeder line for the senior side in the number of years to come,” said Jaiswal.
Jaiswal lauded the support staff and the management for handling the situation efficiently when several players were shuffled with the Ranji team. 
“The team management did handled the situation properly.  Since past two-three years we have been successfully using players from U-23 side and at times from U-19 also and vice-versa. They did a great job in selecting balanced teams in the tournament,” added Jaiswal.
The president once again had a word of caution for the senior players and said nobody should take their place in the team for granted.
“Better be aware (seniors). Because the juniors are tapping at your feat. The more competition there is, the more performance there will be for people to retain their places in the team. Nobody should take their place for granted. Anybody performing well will be rewarded with a place in the appropriate team,” he said.
Jaiswal said the team will be felicitated for their title winning performance at a later date.
“We will definitely felicitate them later. We have postponed it due to coronavirus outbreak,” he concluded.
