Indian Blind Cricket Team meets Sheldon Cottrell; pose with his 'salute'

West Indian pacer Sheldon Cottrell met the Indian Blind Cricket Team, who are currently in Jamaica to play a bilateral series. The India team paid a visit to the seamer's army base and posed with his celebratory step - the 'salute'.

The left-arm fast bowler picked up 12 wickets in the recent World Cup 2019. He made waves throughout the tournament for his 'salute', which he does everytime he picks up a wicket. It is a tribute to his army mates.

The world champions India will play the Jamaican Blind Cricket Team, and Cottrell even sent across his wishes to the home side.

Cottrell has been picked in the T20I squad for the first two games against India. He is likely to play in the XI on 3rd August at Florida.
