It was heartening to see local cricket officials and former cricketers distributing essentials to groundsmen, out of work umpires and scorers recently. A report in this paper detailed how a current Mumbai under-19 coach was distributing grocery packets to groundsmen, at the nursery of Indian cricket, Shivaji Park.

Then, a Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) apex council member also distributed essentials to groundsmen at Mumbai maidans. Top MCA and BCCI officials have helped.
This is truly uplifting in times like these. It shows us that the top tier of the local sport have not forgotten where they rose from, they remember their roots and are taking action when needed.
