Mohammad Azharuddin hails India's U-19 World Cup semi-final win

Kolkata, Jan 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Tuesday hailed the U-19 Indian team which reached the final of the World Cup after annihilating Pakistan by 203 runs in the semi-final at the Hagley Oval in New

Asked about young players getting fat Indian Premier League (IPL) pay cheques after the auctions, Azhar said it's good for them to be getting the opportunity to rub shoulders with experienced players early on in their careers.

"It's good enough if they get an opportunity early on in their career."

The 54-year-old was asked about sought-after U-19 pacer Kamlesh Nagarkoti who has so far grabbed seven wickets in five games.

"I have just seen him bowl one or two overs. He appears to be very good. We can make another Indian team out of these players. These batsmen look so good and the bowlers as well," he said.
