With no sporting activities in the country for a while, lack of experience became a major factor to deal with for all stake holders concerned (that includes grounds men, spectators, organizers, security personnel etc.). The success of the event hence, allows an invaluable learning experience to different parties and should help in better management of any similar events that take place in the country during the next few months.
