Happy to be the part of the team: Jaffer              

He said that this is a new team and they have done well. They have played in the quarter-finals (2018-19) season Ranji Trophy against Vidarbha. But they have again gone back to Group D (Plate Group), so it is going to be a big challenge. I am happy that I am starting from the bottom and it would be a good experience for me.

Love to share my experience with Young players: Jaffer

Wasim Jaffer said that I loved to advise and share my experience with youngsters from Mumbai and Vidarbha team and now I will do the same for Uttarakhand. The 42-year-old former player, who has played 31 Tests for India, said, "I have guided young players in my last five-six-year career." This is something that I enjoy. I am very happy to help the youth and see them becoming better players.
