"Everyone waits to meet their childhood friends once again - don't they? We have all been friends or brothers for a long. Life is always good when you are surrounded by friends. The exceptional part among us is that there is no rivalry ever between any of us. The new boys have also experienced it," said Dheeraj.
"Everyone is excited and looking forward to use this opportunity to perform well in the qualifiers. We are having a great environment inside the team. And we have got good new players adding up quality to the team," he added.

"It feels great to be back with the squad. It's an honour for me to wear the national colours again. I will give my everything, and everyone is motivated to do well," said Rebello.
