Faraz Sarwat has written an appreciation of Asish Bagai for CricInfo
“His retirement puts the spotlight on where Canadian cricket currently stands. When Bagai made his ODI debut in the 2003 World Cup, there was considerable optimism and a sense of achievement around Canadian cricket.

Sometimes it worked, mostly it didn’t, and yet it remained the only option to right the wrongs and cure the ills.”
