New South Wales captain Simon Katich said his side's victory in the inaugural Champions League T20 was the beginning of a new era and it helped provide the youngsters an invaluable experience.
 
NSW, who beat Trinidad & Tobago by 41 runs in the final, won $2.5m USD as the prize money. Katich said he was grateful for the opportunities the tournament presented. 
"A lot of our young guys have had the chance to play on a world stage and show what they are capable of," he said. 
"All the teams who came here have had the opportunity to basically play at an international level." 
"It's invaluable for our young guys, some of them are under 20 and are playing in front of 30,000 people." 
"This will hold them in good stead when they play international cricket down the track." 
"It's been a brilliant experience." 
"I'm very proud of everyone," Katich said in the Daily Telegraph. "We needed everyone firing and everyone did a great job right through the tournament. It's certainly one of the proudest moments I've had in my cricketing career."LATEST SCORES
