Desert Vipers head coach James Foster expressed pride and admiration for Sri Lanka all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga and West Indies middle-order batter Sherfane Rutherford after their inclusion in the ICC ODI Team of the Year. Both players have been integral to the Vipers' setup since the inaugural season of the ILT20.
"It really does fill me with a huge amount of pride that these two wonderful players, who are a part of our franchise and have been integral over the last two-and-a-half seasons, have been included in the ICC ODI Team of the Year," Foster said.
