The cricketing ground staff have been hailed the real stars by fans, commentators and players.
Asia Cup ground staff were tasked with covering the cricket field every time it rained before or during matches.
The 50-over Asia Cup is a precursor to the upcoming ODI World Cup, and most of the matches were moved to Sri Lanka after India refused to tour Pakistan due to political tensions. The nearly three-week-long event was only saved by an army of around 100 Sri Lankan ground staff wearing orange tops, who sprinted out with the covers each time rain halted play.“Big shout out to the unsung heroes of cricket!” president of the Asian Cricket Council Jay Shah posted Sunday on X, formerly Twitter, praising their “unwavering commitment and hard work”.
