Former West Indies pacer Winston Benjamin’s plea for cricketing equipment for aspiring cricketers has been heard as one of the world’s leading sports brands PUMA, has pledged their support for the young cricketers in the Caribbean by providing cricket bats and related equipment.

Winston Benjamin, who had represented the West Indies during the 80s and 90s, featuring in 21 Tests and 85 ODIs, scalping 161 wickets, had urged former cricketers to support the young and upcoming cricketers in the country by providing cricketing kits.
