The Road Safety World Series that brought together legends brought back many memories to the fans. While the series is a huge hit, the organizers had to call off now because of the coronavirus outbreak.
While the series will take place later based on the availability of the players, the exact date is unknown.
Talking about the same, Sachin Tendulkar said that it is the right thing to do.
“The rescheduling of this series, held to create awareness about Road Safety, is unfortunate yet the right step. We all hope and pray that the spread of novel coronavirus is contained.”
Lara echoed Sachin’s sentiment and said: “The situation is a little disappointing now but we are looking forward to come back and take part in the remaining games of the series.”
“People are hungry for cricket, they are hungry to see legends, like (Virender) Sehwag and Sachin (Tendulkar), when they come out to play cricket. So I think this tournament was awesome. The competition was even more than I expected.”
“It was very special, seeing Sachin back on the field again and seeing the crowd reaction,” he added.
Sri Lanka’s Romes Kaluwitharana said: “While I am a bit little disappointed looking at the current situation, but I am glad that the organizers are taking the necessary steps to ensure everything is under control.”
“I am looking forward for things to work out fine at the earliest so that we can come back and finish this series,” he added.
