New Delhi: Australia's explosive opener David Warner has come out in admiration and hailed the efforts of an Indian student studying in Queensland for his ‘selfless work' during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shreyas Sresth, who belongs to Bengaluru, and is pursuing Masters in Computer Science at the University of Queensland, has played a major role in helping out students in Australia by being part of an outreach program that is delivering food to them amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. "Good day, namaste. I am here to thank Shreyas Sresth for selfless work during COVID-19. Shreyas is doing his Masters in Computer Science in University of Queensland. He is a part of university's outreach program preparing and delivering food packets to students in need right now," Warner said in the video tweeted by the Australian Trade and Investment Commission. "So, I just wanted to say, good on ya, I am sure your mum, dad and India is proud of you. Keep up the great work, because we are all in this together," he added. Recently, Australian wicketkeeping great Adam Gilchrist had appreciated the efforts of an Indian-born nurse working at a care home in Wollongong. Sharon Verghese, who is a student at the University of Wollongong, has been working as an aged-care worker during the lockdown enforced by the coronavirus pandemic. "Sharon I wanted to say congratulations on your selfless act. All of Australia, all of India and more importantly, your family wil be so very proud of your efforts. Congratulations and please keep it up, we are all in this together," said Gilchrist. The United Nurses Association (UNA) has also appreciated the work done by Sharon, adding that out of 20 lakh registered nurses at least 15 lakh are from Kerala.
