In the thrilling world of cricket, we often celebrate the stars on the field, but what about the heroes behind the scenes? Let's shine a light on them.
When heavy rains disrupted the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, it was the ground staff who stepped up.
They worked tirelessly, protecting the pitch with orange jackets after every downpour.
Jay Shah, President of the Asian Cricket Council, praised their dedication and announced a $50,000 bonus for these unsung heroes in Colombo and Kandy.
Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj won Man of the Match in the Asia Cup final.
But he decided to give his prize money to the ground staff, recognizing their vital role in making the tournament a success.
These actions remind us that cricket is not just about players on the field but also the passionate individuals off it who make the magic happen.
This Asia Cup had its challenges, but it was the unwavering teamwork of these ground staff members that kept the spirit of cricket alive, against all odds.
