Dev, who led India to glory at the 1983 World Cup, told ABP News that when players prefer IPL over playing for their country, what can be said? Players should be proud to represent their country, he said.

We can learn from this defeat by not repeating the mistakes that were made. This is the most important lesson.” According to the Times of India, the preparations for the next T20 World Cup, in Australia next year, ought to begin immediately.
