Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins, who plays Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday, announced that he will be donating $50,000 to the PM Care Fund specifically for the purchase of oxygen supplies for the Indian hospitals as the country faces a surge of Covid-19. He also urged all the IPL Colleagues to make their contributions.
"India is a country I have come to love dearly over the years and the people here are one of the warmest and kindest I have met. To know so many are suffering so much this time saddens me greatly," Cummins
"There has been quite a bit of discussion over here as to whether it is appropriate for IPL to continue while COVID-19 infection rates remain high. I am advised that the Indian Government is of the view that playing the IPL while the population is in lockdown provides a few hours of joy and respite each day at an otherwise difficult time for the country," he said.
"As players we are privileged to have a platform that allows us to reach millions of people that we can use for good. With that in mind, I have made a contribution to the "PM Cares Fund," specifically to purchase oxygen supplies for India's hospitals," the Australian wrote.
"I encourage my fellow IPL players - and anyone around else the world who has been touched by India's passion and generosity - to contribute. I will kick it off with $50,000 ," he said.
