"I am elated that India U-23 cricket team has 'emerged' as champions of Asia. It is indeed a matter of delight that the promising youngsters could again make the most of the opportunity," Dalmiya said here in a statement.
The former ICC chief also hailed the Asian Cricket Council for successfully organising the tournament.
"At the same time, I would also want to praise the ACC for organizing the Emerging Trophy successfully. It is, in fact, a great way of developing young talented cricketers in the region," Dalmiya added.
