"It's heartening to see these kids putting hundred percent in the training," he said. "Also, our coaches here are working overnight to prepare them for the event. Their interest and dedication give me a lot of motivation. The way they are training and making the most of their time, I am sure they will give their best performance in the Asia Cup," he said.
