He also stated that he is confident that his contribution will make a difference in the lives of two young cricketers. The boots were bought from Ravi Etwaroo of cricket Zone, USA and will shipped in shortly.
Total cricket related items collected so far: cash for first aid kit, two cricket boots, twelve pairs of batting pads, eleven bats, eight pairs of batting gloves and two cricket bags.
