Winning and losing is part of a game, but what amazed me was getting out of your comfort zone, new country, new environment and standing up to the challenges set. Many congratulations to GIIS East Coast Campus for organising a wonderful Twenty/20 tournament, being perfect hosts and winning in style.

We would like to thank the school for this initiative and executing it successfully. The school ground is one of the best grounds for cricket and we were very happy that it has been utilized to its fullest extent.
The tournament was organised very well, without any glitches and the boys had a wonderful opportunity to play with teams from different countries. It was a wonderful experience.
