Nicholas Pooran:"Of course it's tough. It's about enjoying every year, it's been a challenging year for me, but here it was great. It was tough, but you got to enjoy that. Execute your plans and be brave. That's how we have to approach it. I will love to bat here and in international cricket and this game will evolve and change for the better. This is the fastest format and is here to stay. Happy to have done well here."
Nicholas Pooran has been named the 'Player of the Tournament'.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore:"I think it is a kind of a hit and miss format. The way the team got behind me, there is a lot of freedom to express myself in the middle. You have to strike at 200s in this format, so you need to be very good at power-hitting."
Tom Kohler-Cadmore bags the 'Best Batter of the Tournament award.
Akeal Hosein: "Happy to do the job for my team. It's a batter's game, but unfortunately couldn't cross the line. Every over we are under pressure. First two overs in particular. It's all about executing the plans. In the best deliveries, I try not to get hit for 4s and 6s. It's important to keep things tight and do well."
