The President of the Nigeria Cricket Federation, Uyi Akpata, said that he is sure the level of cricket on display would earn some of the players a look in for the national camp that would soon be open.

“The quality of the matches in this Super Four has been revealing. I am sure the technical team of the national teams are here and taking notes of some exceptional talents that might get looked into," he said.

Meanwhile, the captain of the No Limit Cricket Club, Afani Abdulhamid, said it was a pleasure to be crowned the winner.

He said, “When we left the first inning with 88 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs, it seemed we had locked ourselves in a tight corner. We had to dig in deep within us to produce the 18.2 all out at 68 runs that gave us the victory.”
