Riyan Parag forgot his passport and mobile
Riyan Parag said on BCCI TV, 'It was my childhood dream to travel like this. We play matches, but the things that come with it, like traveling with the team, wearing the Indian jersey, all this was so exciting for me that I forgot my passport and mobile phone, so I didn't forget, I kept both somewhere. And now I have both.'
I will always miss Zimbabwe.'
Ryan further said, 'There are a lot of new faces, but there are also old faces for me because we have played a lot together. This dream was seen by a small boy since childhood, which has now been fulfilled. Which makes me happy. Now whenever I play my first match on any ground, I will always remember Zimbabwe. Team India has to play five T20 International matches in Zimbabwe from July 6 to July 14.
